Golf Fan

I'll do my very best to relate my rant to Lent today but honestly, it's not looking good. I'm just having one of those "Really?" moments.
Let's start with making a list of outdoor sports that require a fan. Not a "Woo Hoo, I'm a Packer Fan!" kind of fan...I'm talking about an actual fan used to cool off the sportsperson. Okay, here we go...let's see...there's the football field. You know, the one that has the water spraying through it? So after the player has run a 80 yard touchdown in 90 degree weather he doesn't keel over. Can't remember if I've ever seen once on the baseball field but it's possible...and there is probably one on the soccer field as well. All needed as all those sports are quite strenuous. But now I come to the sport that could not exist without the use of a giant mondo fan to keep it's participants nice and comfy...GOLF! Here's what I saw just before my hand slapped to my forehead and I yelled, "What the....!!!"

While on a Sunday afternoon drive through Highland Park, my husband said he wanted to show me something. He knew I would be highly amused. As always, he knows me oh so well. I had the biggest laugh over this fan on it's pretty little grassy green just waiting for the temperature to climb so it can perform it's needed duty. I was thinking maybe I should get one of these monsters in my front yard so that when I'm working outside in the sun, in July, in 98 degrees with dirt on my face, I could still be cool as a cucumber. Why be uncomfortable...ever? Good grief people! Yep, I failed at the Lent/Golf Fan connection. Maybe next time.
