Today my Pfizer counterpart, Michele, and I volunteered at a golf fundraiser benefitting the Alzheimer’s Association. I have never been a golfer; I spent too much time on the tennis courts to ever learn how to swing a club.
However, after today, I’m starting to think that I’m in the wrong sport. All day long I witnessed grown men joking around, having a ball, eating crap, drinking all sorts of unique hydration aids, gambling, . . . and never leaving zone 1.
Now if we could just implement a cuter wardrobe, I would be all for it. I just am not digging the preppy golfer look.
Oh, and did I mention the SNACK BASKET? SCORE!! Or is it FORE!? Whatever. Anyway, we were conveniently located an arm’s length away from a most gluttonous basket of glory, NONE of which included a Powerbar. Oh yeah, we’re talking the REAL Powerbars. The original Powerbars: Twix, baby!! I swear I haven’t had a Twix since the 6th grade, so I somehow justified that if I only licked off all the melted chocolate and caramel without eating the fabulous crunchy buttery cookie goodness underneath, I didn’t REALLY eat a Twix. I am so disciplined I cannot stand myself.
So after about 6 hours of my new “sport,” I didn’t raise my heart rate above Zone 0 (except when I was giddy w/concocting my deeply profound plot to eat a Twix without really eating a Twix) . . . and I desperately feel the need for a long bike ride.
I guess I’m gonna stay a triathlete for a while longer!
However I am pretty sure I deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for my calorie-less Twix maneuver.

Oh, yes! My favs are peanut butter Twix….but, I am stupidly (is that even a word?) on the no candy kick for the month of October and have NOT given in..yet…just bought candy for Halloween and bought icky taffy things & stuff I don’t like! Golf…..well….I used to ‘play’ a lot in my old life work (sales) but I never had the patience for it!
I’m just glad you didn’t throw the Twix in the pool.
Shades of Caddyshack…..greatest golf movie ever!!
You must not be playing correctly. It takes me about 10 swings to even hit the damn thing, and then it only goes about 20 yds. So, by the time I’m at hole #6, I’m exhausted and on my way back to the clubhouse bar.
