Johnson on US stories:
Jeff likes to play golf, so last Monday he asked me to go with him to the golf club. In our country they play some golf but not as a big game as it is in the US. I had never taken interest so i did know what goes on in this game.
When we got to the golf course, Jeff pulled out a cart. This is like a small car that is driven through the pitch basically to carry the clubs and take you around "chasing" the ball.
What happens is that you have to hit the ball some distance towards a certain hole. The fewer but longer laps you hit the ball, the better for you because that means you get to the hole pretty fast. When you get close to the hole you hit it slightly, almost pushing it towards the hole and if it enters the hole, you have won and you try out another hole. There is always a flag planted in that hole just to direct you where to aim. There were 18 holes in this particular pitch. It takes hours before finishing all of them.
You can play alone and keep chasing your ball until you put it in that hole, but it is better when you do it as a group.
Jeff was playing with his friends Pat and Dan.
It was fun watching the three men hit the ball, some to a short distance and some to a long distance and then chase it and hit it again until they would land it in the hole. It was kind of funny but very interesting!
At one time Dan's ball disappeared in to the water and he gave up looking for it, good enough he had several balls, so he started where he had ended. At another time Jeff's ball disappeared in the grass. It took us several minutes to locate it.
It was dark before the three guys could go over all the 18 holes. So we went home. Jeff was so happy he played Golf that day.
Next time, i will try hitting that ball and chase it to at least 2 holes.
