So true, Ken. It only takes a few rude, gross people to give a whole country a bad reputation as tourists.
As for golf, yeah, there's more than one way to play. I don't keep score, I pick up my ball and drop it beside my husband's so I don't slow him down, and I enjoy the nice walk and the pretty landscaping and the birds . . . frustrates him no end, because, well he's like you. He gets so frustrated with golfing that he 'quits' at least once a year and doesn't go for a month or two. Then we dust off the clubs again. I've been tempted to video him chopping at the ball (with my cell phone that takes HD video btw
) but it would just frustrate him more to know that half the time he uses the club like an axe . . .
