Opinion
What's
the big deal about golf?
By DAVID
EPPS
Pastor
What is it about
golf? I just don’t get it. I realize that I live in the midst of
a golfer’s paradise and that this is that land of innumerable golf
carts. Even the local police department has a golf cart for patrolling
the miles and miles of cart paths. Heck, you can’t swing a dead
cat without hitting a golf course around these parts. At the considerable
risk of alienating golfers everywhere, I still have to ask, “Hey,
what’s the deal?”

Some
things are predictable in this world. Each year you will have a birthday,
unless you’re over thirty. (Then, somehow, you stop having them.)
Halley’s Comet will come around once every 75 years. There will
be an election for your state governor once every four years –
unless you live in California, that is. (Then it’s whenever you
get tired of the current one.) But, at the end of this month, a special
event witch (ha ha) only happens once every seven years will occur.
And this has yours truly excited beyond words…well not really;
that would mean this column was only one paragraph long. For you see
this year dear reader - oh my, what a fright - Halloween will fall on
a Friday night!
