last night
My daughter got her varsity letter in the first year the sport was available for girls in her high school (golf). It was started by a freeper parent of a very talented golfer who essentially had to get the sport going in the public school because he couldn't afford private school for his little golfer.
Why, you ask? Because he had been laid off by his company because of this booming economy of B*'s and because he is such an uptight a..hole who spouts religious right wing fundie stuff at work and this does not fly in MA.( yet, anyway)
His talented little golfer is afraid of him because not only is he a "stage mother" when it comes to golf but when his oldest daughter annouced that she was going to register as a Democrat that kid has received the silent treatment after a huge fight at home.
In the last week my daughter and 3 of her friends started a Young Democrats Club at school; 27 other kids just signed on. The talented little golfer made a point of telling my daughter that she wished she could join but she couldn't risk a break with her dad/ golf coach like her sister is experiencing.
His household is ruled by fear
I didn't tell my husband any of this prior to the banquet last night. I wondered if he would pick up on any vibes. He did
We got home and hubby said "What is with golfer Dad?, Intense guy,huh? Not anything like .... (another parent we deal with in another sport were our daughter got a Varsity letter- Booster President)
Personally, he is uptight, rigid, with almost no social skills.
Mark my words though: a very talented lady golfer will come out of MA,but I wonder if she'll ever register as a Democrat.
