“I paid for the whole course, so I’m going to play the whole course, goddammit!”
Create to Liberate Idea No. 27
Last year I needed to lose a few pounds. So, I began a fitness routine that included walking and, eventually, running.
A half mile of my walk-and-run path follows alongside a public golf course. Regularly, I spot errant golf balls lost in the underbrush along the trail.
These seem to me to be little gifts dropped in front of me as fitness talismans. So, I gather them up and go on my way.
Forty-eight golf balls later, I have quite a collection
I do not play golf
Last week I asked Abbetuck’s members (a/k/a subscribers to my free e-newsletter) what they thought I should do with these golf balls for Create to Liberate on April 19.
I received marvelous and devious ideas.
One intriguing suggestion was that I craft these dimpled darlings into little F-Bombs and distribute them in easily discovered locations.
I could fashion them after the cartoon-style black spherical bombs favored by Wile E. Coyote and the characters in Spy v. Spy.
But then, in this political environment, I’d get cuffed and airdropped into El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center before getting the chance to present the Titleist evidence in court.
And as much as I would love to appear jailed and shirtless behind Kristi Noem in a social media influencer post, I think I will pass on the F-bombs.
I’ve got balls
So let me ask you. What do YOU think I should do with forty-eight golf balls?
I will implement someone’s creative idea for Create to Liberate on April 19.
P.S. What do you already have that you can convert into a tangible act of creative disobedience on April 19? Get to work!
