ntrprnr 0 #1 December 12, 2007 We all do things that others consider crazy. I consider golf crazy. Hitting a little ball into a little hole? Who the hell does that, and why?? Others think things I do are crazy. Skydiving. Running, etc. You know what? In the end, I only have to answer to me, and to the people I love. And if the people I love can't understand why I do the things I do, then I try to explain it to them, and hope that they'll understand. I would never expect them to do it with me, but I would hope that they would understand. So that being said... I have to do this in 2008. I'm sorry. I simply have to. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=toughguy2007 I'm not crazy. I just like trying new things. And if those things don't push me, or hurt, or could potentially kill me, they simply don't hold the appeal for me that say, "golf" does for other people. It's simply who I am. -Peter_______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gonzalesna 0 #6 December 12, 2007 looks like a lot of fun imo Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #8 December 12, 2007 I like golf. It's not about the little ball or the little hole. It's about shwacking the hell out of something and watching it fly. Over and over again.I'm not so much into putting, though. Chipping still has an element of jolity, however. It's like giving the ball a little kick in the bootie.Your race thingie looks like fun! Doesn't look like you can drink while particpating, though. Score one for golf vs. race thingie. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACMESkydiver 0 #17 December 12, 2007 What a bunch of sissy-marys! My husband could do that shit in his sleep. I think he'd like to see England, though...so if you really want to go and not die, Peter, I'll offer to send Joe with you. I'm betting Ranger and EMT quals have to be a good thing to have handy. Not saying that you wouldn't kick that course in the balls on your own, but it's always cool to have someone to share the beer with after and tell the tale! He is the toughest guy I have ever met, and nobody would ever guess it. That's how humble his heart is. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
