Weeee! My team at work has a "golf outing" today! A golf outing! How.......quaint! Something about the word "outing" that makes me I feel like Marry Poppins is taking me to the driving range. hehe
Anyway, we're going to a pitch n putt, which is the Irish version of putt putt. In case you didn't know, golf was formally invented in Scotland and has been around in Ireland, Scotland and England for hundreds of years. People over here are BIG on their golf and there are hundreds of golf courses here in Ireland. Therefore when I tell you pitch n putt is the Irish version of putt putt, what I mean is that it's a par 3 golf course that people take about as seriously as putt putt. A par 3, you know, like Southfield's premiere golf course. Only here it'd be called pitch n putt. That's the level of golf we're talking about on this island.
Anyway I'm going to legitimately stink but it'll be loads of fun. Other people in the office have said that they'll stink too, but I imagine people in Ireland saying they suck at golf the way....I don't know, a Kenyan could say he sucks at running. All that means is a 3hr marathon instead of a 2.5hr. Know what I mean?
Anyway I leave work at 2:30 to hit the links, hooray! And afterwards we go to Johnny Fox's for dinner and pints, hooray! Then the rented minibus takes us into town for pints and pints, hooray!
Expect a groggy blog post tomorrow morning. We'll leave it at that.
Have a good Wednesday!
