One of my best friends always invites me out to play golf, but I don’t go.  You see, I have never played the game (besides mini-golf), and I don’t know where to start.  But for me, part of the challenge I have is most of the people from work play, and quite often we have business meetings while playing a round.

I just found out the other day that the rest of the office has pooled together to come up with the money to get me a set of golf clubs.  In fact, they presented them to me on Friday’s board meeting.

I was shocked, and I didn’t know what to say.  It was one of the most thoughtful gifts anyone had ever got me, but I had to ask if any of them would give me some golf instruction.

As it turns out, the clubs were not the only thing they bought me.  They have also lined up a spot in the Arizona Golf School that I will attend in a couple of weeks time.  At the Academy of Golf there, I will be introduced to golf and learn how to play.

It will be so nice when I am done to be a part of the team - I have felt left out not knowing how to play golf.
