Be Observant! Be, Be Observant!

My husband loves to golf.  I, however, am not so great at it so it's not one of my favorite things to do.  But I do go out with him to one of the par 3 golf courses and whack the ball around at least once a year.  So when I heard that my brother-in-law had found a set of clubs for Kelly on Kijiji for cheap I said to myself, "Hey, I bet I could find myself a set as well.  Maybe that will get me more excited to play since I won't have to share Jay's clubs with him.  Perhaps I will also get better at golfing and enjoy it more."

I headed to the computer and found a set of 7 men's clubs with bag and pull cart included all for $50.  I said to myself, "Hey that sounds like a great deal!  And I usually play with Jay's clubs anyway, so it doesn't matter that they're men's."  So I contacted the owner and arranged a time to go pick them up.  I was so proud of myself on the way home, and brought my new clubs in to show Jay. 

I pulled the driver out of the bag (insert suspenseful music here) and noticed something about the clubs for the first time.  They were left-handed!  And the worst part is, I said to myself earlier today, "The ad didn't say if they were right-handed or left-handed.  Maybe I should check that out."  But then I thought, "I'm sure that if they were left-handed the owner would specify that.  You know, since most people are right-handed."

Jay thought this was hillarious and proceeded to make fun of me, of course.  So I took some pictures of the clubs and immediately put an ad of my own up to re-sell the clubs.  I figured that I should probably try to find some right-handed clubs to sort of redeem myself, so I perused the ads again.  I found a different set with more clubs (I checked to make sure they were right-handed this time) for the same price, but without the bag and cart.  But that was ok since I had purchased a bag and cart earlier in the day. 

So it all worked out in the end.  I got a fairly decent set of clubs, bag and cart.  The moral of the story is: Be Observant!

Oh ya, anyone looking for some left-handed clubs?
