...Being a golf caddy... ::)

...When I was a child, I wanted to earn MONEY!!!  I realized just what you could do with it!!!!   So, being a small female...I ruled out being a babysitter or running errands...and went to the Country Club...and

...Became a Caddy!!!!

...The first year, since I was small, and not very strong, I was lucky to get out once a day.  Later, as I grew, and became stronger, I would get out once a day, and at times, twice.  I learned the course, and began to understand what golf was about.  My submissive nature grew...I would carry my golfers clubs to the clubhouse, and wash them after the round.  I would usually stay, and wash other clubs, and talk with the Caddymaster.  He was happy to have me there, I was very rigorous about washing the clubs, and would wipe down the bags, and carry them to their place in the racks.

...I also got to be more helpful on the course.  I recognized the yardage signs...most were just shrubs and small trees, and I  could help a golfer figure out what club to use.

...I had a brief argument with my golfer, once.  It was very hot, and I was tired, and just wanted to get back to the bus stop, and go home.  We looked at the lay, and he said..."8 Iron."  I looked around...and thought of how he had been shooting...and said, "Sir, I suggest a 6 Iron."  He grimaced at me, and held out his hand, and I handed him the 8 Iron. 

...His shot landed well short of the green, and rolled into a sand trap.  He just walked away...and I quickly followed him...and handed him the Sand Iron.  It took him two tries to get out of the trap, and he triple putted. 

...He just gave me half  of the basic fee for carrying his bag.  Usually, I got a nice tip, since I was cute, and knew the course, and could counsel the golfer. 

...I walked down to the bus stop...I had $2.75 in my pocket...and the ride cost $1.00.

...Not one of my highest earning days... :P

...My elderly Mother enjoys telling me tales of when I was a child.  I have no recollection of most of them, I was just a baby.   ::)  She told me one, this afternoon, which probably explains why I became a Lawyer.   ::)

..She nursed me when I was very young, and so I had never seen a bottle.  She was  babysitting a boy, that was a bit older than me.  She put us both in the crib, and then gave the boy a bottle of milk, since he was hungry.  He laid down on his back, and began drinking.  I watched him for a little while, and then crawled over, and TOOK the bottle AWAY from him, and examined it, as he cried.   :P  She separated us, and gave him back the bottle. 

...So, I AM GUILTY of taking MILK FROM THE MOUTH OF BABIES!!!!   :P

...One more for the evening... :)

...This was a hard work for me to perform...not technically...I could easily play all of the notes.  It raised emotions in me that could get difficult.  I have never been a performer who just tapped on the piano, or stroked out the notes on the cello...and then gave a charming smile...bowed...and left the stage.

...I would place my mind and body into what the work was about...and express it.  If it was a gentle, or fun work, I would smile at the end...and sometimes give the audience a cute curtsy.   ::)  They would laugh...we females didn't curtsy back then...we just gave an elegant bow.  But, at times the music was intense...and my entire body would get involved.  I would sit for a few seconds at the end, and then carefully stand.  I would give a careful bow, and then get off the stage.

...My mind would be IN A MESS!!!   The music had taken something out of me.  My friends would take me to an asian restaurant...and after eating a bowl of shrimp won ton soup...I would recover...I hadn't eaten the day before...I believed that I would play better if I had a an empty belly.

...That is why I changed Majors in College...I sensed that 'Music' would eat me alive...and so I delegated it to being a hobby.  I did play in Community Orchestras, and had a very skilled string quartet.  It went very well... :)...I made money, and enjoyed my hobby while I had a nice job.

that is the reason for practicing so much so when your mind is being affected, your body continues playing as it is supposed to

...Being a caddy... ::)

...I actually enjoyed it, I would be walking on a lovely course, and just focus on my golfer.  I had a strip of cloth tied to my belt, and would wipe the clubs as we did the round.  I would carefully watch where the ball went...and guide my golfer to where it was.

...The Caddymaster ALWAYS assigned ME to carry the bag for an elderly Scottish golfer, who would show up at 7:30 in the morning, and just want to play 'solo'.  The Caddymaster would look down, where we caddies were gathered...and call out MY NAME!!!   :P   I would climb up the stairs, pick up the bag, and walk to the first tee.  The golfer was a bit gruff, he was old, and didn't play golf well at all.  Plus, he was cheap, he didn't pay me much, and when a ball landed in the rough, he would expect me to find it.   :P

...Sometimes, I couldn't, and he would be very upset...and I would keep searching.

...So, I came up with a plan.  We caddies would find balls all of the time, I had a bucket of them at home, and so I would have 3 or 4 balls in my pocket when I  caddied for him.  When his ball went into the rough, I would do a quick search, and come back to him, and say...

..."I couldn't find it, but I found these."  I would hold out the balls to him...and he would...

...TAKE THEM ALL!!!!   ::)

...We would get through the round, and...

...I would $2.75!!!!! :o

...I grumbled to the Caddymaster, once, as I was washing the the golfer's clubs.  He laughed, and told me...

..."You are carrying the bag of one of the Founding Members of the Country Club."

...My submissive side came out, and I was always pleasant to the old man.  I also made sure...

...THAT I HAD A FEW GOLFBALLS IN MY POCKET...when I caddied... ::)

...Eating Shrimp Heads... ;D

...I like Japanese food, and like going into a Sushi Bar.  I sit, and watch as plates of food go by, and grab the ones that look good.  I was very conservative, at first, but then would eat raw fish and such.  I liked it, and would go in for lunch.  At times, I would take my daughter in for dinner...we would GORGE...and then go watch a movie.   :)  The Owner would greet the two of us when we arrived, and get us settled into chairs.   ::)   We would run up a large tab, I would pay, and we would go watch a movie.   :)  He would smile as we left, and say, "Please return soon."

...One time, during lunch, a guy was sitting beside me at the bar, and ordered 'sweet shrimp'.  He ate the tails...and then apologized to me as he ate the heads.  I continued eating, but could see him eating the fried heads.

...I thought about it, and realized that the chefs weren't preparing the heads as a decoration.  So, the next time I was in SF, and ordered sweet shrimp...I ate the heads.   ;)  They were actually very good.  They were crunchy, and had a nice taste.  The Chef smiled at me, as I made my next order.  He was probably not used to seeing a 'Gajin' eating the whole shrimp.   ;D

...I was on a business trip...and I was one of those a__holes who was on a cellphone a lot. 

...I leasurely ordered more plates of food...and ate them...while I was talking on the phone...I was just 'killing time' for the rest of the afternoon...I would be in Court the next morning, and wanted to make sure that my staff had all of my exhibits ready. 

...The Chef actually brought me plates that I had not ordered.  We just smiled at each other...and I ATE THEM!!!!

...I smiled, and nodded my head to the Chef when I left...I didn't try a bow.  My daughter, who had lived in Japan for a year, told me not to bow to a Japanese native.  She said that 'bows' were VERY selective, and needed to be used properly.  She told me that a deep bow, could be seen as a mocking gesture...and a shallow bow could be seen as an insult.

...He gave me a nice bow...I was happy... :)

...So, a tip.  When you order 'sweet shrimp' at a Japanese restaurant...eat the head...it tastes good.   ;D

...Caddying during a tournament... ::)

...I would be very careful when doing this.  I believed that it would be fair, and would just sigh when my golfers ball landed in the rough, or in a sand or water trap.  But once...I cheated.  I liked the golfer, I had carried his clubs many times, and he played well.  Usually, I would walk behind the golfer, but during this tournament, I would quickly walk to where the ball was, and look at it.  If it was in a divot, or something like that, I would look around...to make sure that nobody was watching...and then use my left toe to nudge the ball into a better position.   :o

...The golfer gave me a very generous tip at the end.  He had probably noticed that his ball had just missed a divot, or gopher hole.

...*S*  This wasn't a Professional Tournament, it was just the Country Club.
