Both my sister and my brother are keen golfers.
As for me,  apart from my general interest
in the history of things, I have absolutely no
interest at all in the game of golf. As somebody
or other said, golf is a good walk ruined.

This seems a bit unlikely. Nebraska is in the middle
of a continent, hundreds of miles from the sea.
The game of golf developed as something played
amongst sand dunes by the sea on the east
coast of Scotland. Around the world golfers try
to create artificially courses with the conditions
which we have naturally. But away from the sea,
the hills of Scotland are definitely not made of sand.
