So if we are golfers then we should be able to use our "golf" bags on the airlines!

How come I'm not in here? Oh yeah, cuz I'm stuck here in a cubicle working for these people!

I moved to Silicon Valley from Hood River last year but had lived here in the mid-90's for a stint too. Back then all the CEOs windsurfed together and my boss, who was an avid golfer, complained that windsurfing was "the golf of the geek world" because our CEO would excuse me from work around 3:00 for a 'board meeting' at Coyote Point.

The more things change the more they stay the same...

Hell yeah we're golfers!!

If having a motorized cart with you for carrying your gear and beverages is golfing, count me in!

Have you ever seen how much alcohol you can carry in a Golf Cart? A lot!

Plus you can bring your own full-sized golpher with you as well.
