Golf anyone?

Recommended Posts

In spite of the fact that the sport of golf has probably elicited more profanity from me than any other endeavor, I've always enjoyed it. Seldom okay anymore - very expensive - but I enjoy watching PGA and especially LPGA tournaments on TV. PXG, maker of high-end clubs, etc, is a frequent sponsor. 

 

I just learned that the gentleman who started it, Bob Parsons, is a Marine Corps Vietnam war veteran, and started GoDaddy, among other ventures. He provides discounts on his products for veterans and first responders. I'm guessing many here would not care for his political leanings, BUT, in addition to those discounts, he also has a PRIDE line of clothing and golf accessories. I happen to think that's pretty cool.

That's pretty cool Hannah.  I'll check out his line PRIDE clothing.  Speaking of golf, I just booked my first tee time of the year.  Hoping to get in a bunch of rounds this year.

I've played golf for many years...not especially well and have used more than my share of profanities. My wife decided to take up the sport more seriously several years ago and we play in a 9 hole summer league but on different teams. We've spent some time on a simulator at the course where our league plays until it warms up a bit. I also enjoy watching PGA and LPGA (especially) tournaments...but won't have anything to do with LIV.

 

I knew PXG gave military/first responder discounts - looked at them when I got new clubs a few years ago - but didn't know they had a PRIDE line of clothing. I'll check that out!!

That’s cool, I too will be looking at their PRIDE wear. 
 

Golf is a sport where you are really competing against yourself. I’ve always played customer service Golf. ⛳

That’s where you pay for the customer’s rounds, drinks, lunch, and tell them to pick up any balls close to the pin cup. Oh you also took care of any ball marks on the green. If they lied your putter, you gave it to them. Thank goodness those days are over, and I’m back to just hacking around the course, finding more balls than I lost, off the fairway.

I haven't kept score in years, and only play a couple of times per year. Again, rather costly, partner is hard to find, and I tend to need assistance in tracking my ball flight. Being right-handed, my left eye is supposed to pick up the flight path first. A minor occlusion dead center makes it difficult. I do visit the fairway occasionally, criss-crossing in search of my most recent errant shot. I would hope that now, being a much more proper lady and thus more restrained, my colorful opinions of those shots would be less frequent. Still enjoy the game, regardless, and I've yet to play since my transition.

I made a few divots, slices and simple missed the ball shots over 50 years ago.  The only thing that might get me back out there are those cute little outfits.

 

Hugs,

      Wow that is a high number for Estradiol good grief! Testosterone levels are better than mine. I don't remember my Estradiol level but testosterone was 80. To me that is really high but it was in the two hundreds the check in before last one.

      I don't understand why this would make a difference being a "dad" I mean, as far as how they would grow.
    • Ashley0616
      I don't see why not. I have worn forms since I came out. 
    • MaeBe
      I have never worn breastforms, but I assume as long as they don't aggravate your nipples you could.

      Every week I've been excited to take my shot, so it's never been an issue. Yesterday, however, I woke up and started my usual "slow roll" and then suddenly realized I had breakfast plans that I had to rush out the door for. After, it was straight into work calls, and then I got the notification from the doctor about things being too high and all the while my mind had completely slipped that I needed take my shot.   Given that I am not asking for medical advice, but sharing my journey, I will note my results: Estradiol at 447 pg/mL and Testosterone was 23 ng/dL, up and down from 26 pg/mL and 526 ng/dL respectively before treatment. Almost flipped the bit! The doc would like my Estradiol closer to 300 pg/mL, so we'll see what Monday's tests state.   Oh, and I teased the dinner with old soccer teammates and never updated the thread! It went well. There were a couple funny moments. One guy, who I was worried about their response, greeted me with "Hey, you've lost some weight!" 😎 And a friend who lives near me picked me up on the way to dinner exclaimed, after we learned one of the invitees might show up with a date, "Wait! We could have brought women?!" To which I instantly responded, "You kind of did, bringing me!" Everyone got a good laugh out of that. 😁

      To me there isn't that much difference other the measurement, which side the zipper is on and men's pants have bigger pockets. 
    • missyjo
      I hope this is not stupid question..I have yet to start n not sure if doc will approve..but once you start growing buds n such, can you still wear forms to get to the size you were?   I'm a dad, so when I start blossoms they will be smaller for a long time n probably need surgical augmented..that's fine. I don't want to go ddd to aa to ddd..   any ideas?   thank you

      April sounds fun..I keep some boy jeans to visit mom in..fir now   hugs

      I like them too.  We had them growing up.  But my father's family were Swedes.

      Oh my!  I guess it just goes to show how different tastes can be. Since we don't live near the ocean, Seafood is a rare luxury. We absolutely love pickled herring! Especially my husband and my GF, I guess it's a Ferman/Russian cultural thing.  But most of the kids like it too, and a jar wouldn't last in the pantry for long 😆
    • awkward-yet-sweet
      I think the key to that is just not minding eating the same thing repeatedly. Since we produce a lot of our own food here, we end up eating what is in season at the moment. So, when the yellow squash is ripening, we end up fixing squash 20 different ways. When the strawberries are ready, we eat lots of strawberries. It's kind of a different mindset to eat in season when it has become such a part of American culture but the grocery store has everything we want all the time. Like grapes in December.  My family does even things out a little bit by having a greenhouse so we have some fresh things in the winter, but it's not a 100% fix.

      My brothers and I had to eat what was on the plate.  All of it, and nothing else.  Pickiness was not tolerated.  Some of our least favourite were liver and onions, sauerkraut, and especially rollmops (pickled herring).  We finally protested enough to persuade our mother not to serve rollmops, though she kept a jar in the pantry for years afterwards, as a threat if we didn't behave.

      I'll go first.  My favorite team is the Yankees.  Loved them since I was a kid.  I was born in NYC so, yeah.  I know everyone loves to hate them, and that's OK.  I just love baseball in general.  It's a game of traditions, strategy, power, grace and skill.   Play Ball!!  ⚾   Carolyn Marie

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow
