If nothing else, it\u2019s good exercise and it gives me a chance to do all the cursing and swearing that I\u2019m not allowed to do at home.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where this month\u2019s prize comes in. It\u2019s the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bella-Swarovski-Crystal-Golf-Marker\/dp\/B005ZEL2BC\/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1323860141&amp;sr=8-14\">Bella Swarovski crystal golf ball marker<\/a> in the form of a juicy, succulent watermelon.<\/p>\n<p>For those who don\u2019t know, \u201cgolfers\u201d (i.e., people who adhere to the strict rules of the sport), sometimes have to pick up their golf ball \u2013 usually when it\u2019s close to the hole \u2013 to clear a path for another golfer\u2019s putt. When golfers move their ball, they use a golf ball marker to remember its location. I don\u2019t own a golf ball marker (I used to, but I lost it when I threw my golf bag into a pond), so I usually just use a penny or tiny stick or some other object to mark my golf ball\u2019s location.<\/p>\n<p>Like many golf ball markers, this one clips to the brim of your hat. It\u2019s sort of like golfing jewelry that way. I\u2019ll choose one comment at random from all the comments left on the blog this month to receive this prize. Golf clubs and swearing lessons not included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I golf, but I wouldn\u2019t call myself a \u201cgolfer.\u201d In other words, I own some golf clubs and I sometimes take those golf clubs to a golf course and use them to hit a tiny white ball around the course for three hours.
