Go Native 70 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I leave 99.99% of the shopping to my wife including clothes for me and even cars. Never buy any trinkets like watches or any sort of jewellry. I do want to get a new oar for my Kayak for this summer though. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I hate shopping for food and other essentials. It's stuff I like gadgets that I will be happy hunting down. Link to post Share on other sites

That, I can relate to - golf, the greatest waste of a good walk! Boring to watch, with overpaid "sportsmen" wandering around like they are entitled to adulation. Fools!

thursday 1 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I'm surprised JA, golf appeals to all types, especially the old fuddy duddies. And you being a prime example of one from Aus, I'd thought it would've have been your game. Link to post Share on other sites

I intend to go out on the snow fields at 110! (That's years of age, not mph!) Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 yeah wots that? Crazy Golf (where you putt through various models of windmills etc) or the driving range? although I'm not really a golfer, I did play when I was a kid. Its not a bad sport, I like it a little bit. Go for a good walk, hit a few balls around, have a laugh with your mates, chase off kids with your clubs who are trying to steal your golf balls! Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 For those that don't know what Park Golf is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_golf Very popular in Hokkaido. There'd hardly be a town here without a course or two. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 wow!! never heard of that before!! Looks like a pitch n putt course but with a weird driver/mallet-like club. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Mostly played by really old people but I really enjoy it. Don't need to spend years and years playing at expensive courses to even come close to being good at the sport and it's not taken too seriously at all. Just fun and really cheap.
