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?

Hee Hee Hee! I still thinks it's funny...but you know I probably would have done the same thing! It's a good thing that Cliff took care of buying mine for me! Loves! And cute blog. Again, you're great at this!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kell! I changed yours to what mine used to be. I just get tired of having the same one for too long, so you're probably going to have yours changed quite a bit too!
