The Shame
Its hard to admit to such vileness but it true
so here goes.

About 12 years ago I submitted to relentless peer pressure both social and professional and
got involved in a heinous activity that brings a hot flush of shame to my face to remember.

Thats right B3tans I became a regular....

Golfer

Thankfully through a rigourous application of willpower and a 12 step programme I managed to shake of the disgusting habit after 2 years.

Oh yes and I was a truly awful player.

Stuck with 5 a side since.

Golf ?!?
Fuck me, run drugs, rob banks, fiddle with the little uns, but never NEVER get dressed up in weird cloths and go and hit a little ball round with a club. Thank you for sharing. I hope the recovery is going well...

I tried hitting a golf ball once with a club
It took 6 months for that woman to recover. I learnt my lesson there and then.

Don't do it kids.

to be fair
it was because I have to hob-nob with high management / lower directors and corporate shindig blah, and hacking around expensive golf courses in a sea of flying grass divuts, swearwords and cigarette butts is not the done thing

for taking it up.
