My boys and I will occasionally utter this saying when we’re playing golf, “There’s nothing else we’d rather be doing, and that includes having sex …. because you can have sex anytime, but for golf you need daylight.” But that is not an either-or statement. Being all manly men, we all dig sex. Or at least we dig talking about sex. Ahem.

But today comes the news of a poll where over 30% of the respondents – equal amounts of both men & women – would give up having sex for a year in order to get a single tee time at Augusta National. Stooooppppp it! Say it ain’t so! I have to wonder if all of those who responded are over 80 years old. The only other possible explanation for that trade is they’ve been doing it wrong. For the love of God …. one whole year?

I’ve been fortunate to play some of the greatest venues in the world, Pinehurst No. 2 and St. Andrews Old Course. I’ve also walked the grounds of Augusta National and that was cool. I would pay a pretty good premium to tee it up there once. But these people have lost their marbles. I mean, money is one thing but … damn.
