A Boring Blog Means Having to Say You're Sorry

Greetings Golfers,

Some of you might remember that movie “Love Story” … I think it was made in 1972. Well, its tag-line was “Love means never having to say you’re sorry”. I guess being in love means that common-courtesy isn’t needed … because common-courtesy is just a phony way to use and manipulate people.

Mind-boggling.

My plan for this blog was to just give out some basic end-of-the season information … and then apologize for such a boring blog. 

But before writing, I opened my computer to find some random article for inspiration. Amazingly, I opened to an article where somebody was talking about the two rudest countries he’d ever visited. He said that on the airplane he was told “There are two words you don’t use here: “Thank you and please”.

Sort of like not saying “sorry”.

I suppose if you look at the world only in terms of power … then manners are just foolish affectations.

However if you care about people and have empathy … manners are the grease that keeps life respectful.

So … I’m apologizing for this boring blog. Here goes:

• Our last day of golf in 2023 is Sunday, October 29. 

• Our Annual Christmas Sale will be on Saturday, December 2.

• The information for the Holiday Passes will come out in my blog on November 22 … the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

That’s it.

I’m sorry,
