I am not a golfer...

...nor do I play one on TV. However, I think it's past time to put to rest the foul canard that, to a golfer, no matter what it's all about, it's all about golf.

The Lamaze class was in full swing. The room was full of pregnant women and their partners.

The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe properly and the men how to give the necessary assurances to their partners at this stage of the pregnancy -- she said, "Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial; it strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make your delivery that much easier!"

She then looked at the men in the room. "And gentlemen, remember -- you're in this together. It wouldn't hurt you to go walking with your partner."

The room became very quiet as everyone absorbed this information. Then, a man at the back of the room slowly raised his hand.

"Yes?" asked the instructor.

"I was just wondering -- wouldn't it be even *more* beneficial to her if she carried a golf bag while we walk?"

Heh. And a tip o' the flight helmet with the 7.62mm groove over the left earcup to Ben Hogan's protege V29.

*ba dum-dum* I actually saw this the morning you posted it, and giggled. But the events of the day overtook it, I guess. Since I've never been pregnant, I can afford to laugh. Hopefully the women out there who have borne children won't hold it against me ;-)
