This walk is the least stimulating walk I do. I have several walks and the golf course is the most boring.
I never meet anyone……except once I did see a guy with a set of clubs practicing his golf, this was before the snow. I think he was really looking at me hard as I was walking around with a note book and writing in it. He watched me for ages as I approached, he never hit one golf ball, when there was so many miles of space, he just walked around in circles, it took ages for me to walk past from when he first saw me. I said ‘hi’ in a low key way, as you feel you have to, as this is the only human for miles around, like two aeroplanes passing in the middle of the pacific ocean. I can’t even remember if he said hi back? He probably thought I must be recording how many people play golf without paying? As soon as I went past and didnt do anything, write anything about him, or speak to him about what he was doing, he started playing golf again.
I had wondered if he was going to ask me what I was doing? And I had prepared the answer in my head ready in case he did. ‘Drawing a map of the perimeter shape of the golf course’. I was going to say perimiter as a key word as it sounded technical, very unlike my drawings which kept going off the page and I had to carry on using a fresh page, so my visual notes were really bizare and I wondered how hard it would be to join up the information and plot the shape later. I would have even shown him my ‘technical’ drawings if he was interested. I knew he would’nt be though, and if he had looked at my drawings he would have thought I was taking the p**s out of him!
