Find Romance on the Golf Course

It seems a bit strange really and was something that didn't even occur to me. I have to admit being a bit shy and am often uncomfortable with people that i don't know. I've always had a problem approaching women, and, as a result, I found myself alone most of the time. To be honest, this was the reason I took up Golf in the first place.

Within the game of Golf there is a community of people sharing a common interest, and a camaraderie that is not too usual in everyday life. I remember a few years ago living in a really nice area in a 'posh' house. The house was a four bedroom with two garages underneath, very nice.

I lived there for just over five years and to the day I left, never knew the name of my next door neighbours. Sad, or what? I suppose my own shyness was as much to blame as anything. When I took up Golf I was incredibly bad at it, but to my surprise rather than people sniggering and having a laugh at my expense I was offered help on all sides. Time went on, my circle of friends increased and with other peoples help my ability to play improved. This was great, but little did I know that I would find romance on the Golf course.

I'd been a member of my club for about eighteen months when I was introduced to Lucy. It was a natural introduction in as much that I had several of my Golf buddies with me so there was no one on one situation where I would have shrunk back into my shell. I suppose I felt comfortable with the introduction because in some respects I was being 'chaperoned' by my friends, without them even being aware of it!

Lucy, as I later learned had gone through a pretty tough time herself. She'd been divorced eighteen months earlier after catching her spouse in bed with her next door neighbour, and best friend. It had shaken her confidence quite badly, and, she'd taken up Golf for the same reason as me. Not to find romance on the Golf course, but simply to extend her circle of friends.

I really did fancy Lucy, but was worried about the possible Consequences of a probable rejection. You'll notice I used the words 'probable rejection'. I didn't want to lose her friendship by being clumsy. As it turned out I think she read me and understood that I'd probably never make the first move. Unlike me Lucy either was not shy or just had more 'bottle' than me. In any event she asked me to dinner.

We were engaged a year later, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Thank you for reading this. I only posted it because I wanted to pass on what is a very nice but true story, and hope you enjoyed it. I was lucky enough to find romance on the Golf course. Could it happen to you?
