What makes you really angry?

VERONICA:  I play a lot of golf. It's mostly a social activity, you do it together with other people, but sometimes you play on your own.

The other day I was playing on my own and on hole 12 it suddenly happend. For twenty years I've been hoping for making a hole in one. And here it was, my first hole in one!

And nobody was there to watch it. Who will beleive me?

This really makes me angry!

What is the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up?

BETINA:  I'm an early bird and I live very close to a golf course, in fact our house is ON the golf course, so naturally the first thing I do every morning is go and play golf.

I mostly play with my neighbour and friend Caroline.

The other day, on the 15th hole, we suddenly found a golf ball on the fairway. The first golf ball we saw that morning. We thought about playing it, but finally decided not to. Hitting golf balls is not our game.

Golf certainly is about being social.

What is your most common dream?


DOROTHY:  Every night before a round of golf, I dream that we can't find my golf ball. After a while of searching, we look in the golf hole. And there it is! Hole in one!

When I bend down to pick up the ball from the hole, out pops a gigantic crocodile and swallows me!

How do you interpret that?

Nowadays I always ask someone else to pick up my golf ball.
