Today, I played golf again. It’s smoky, hazy and going to be 108 today again….I went out early and played with someone new. New to the club. We went out and played together. I hoped to encourage her to join our women’s group. I think I did…….but….

This will be short. New player, very nice, new to golf, needs work on her game (like we all do) and we chatted. Nothing in particular, just general stuff until it wasn’t..
Somewhere while our foursome was waiting to tee off, someone mentions vaccines and masks.

Asked the group whether they still wear masks into stores, etc., if they are vaccinated. I said “hell yes”.
The group basically said yes, with one person saying No. The new person.🥴

I asked her why she doesn’t?l She said, “I’m vaccinated” don’t need to.
I asked how she feels about all those people she sees without masks and what if they are vaccinated?
She said, “doesn’t bother me”.

I push further just a bit and ask her if she has grandkids going to school in the fall?
She says, “yes”. She has a 9 and 12 year old grandkids.
Are they going to wear masks to school,…I ask?
Not if the school doesn’t make them is her answer.

I said that I wouldn’t let any kid of mine into any school anywhere without wearing a mask because this delta variant is deadly for children too.
She says, “What?” I haven’t heard that. Where did you hear it?
I mention on every news channel, online in digital media, etc.

There are many children who are losing their lives to COVID and they are un-vaccinated.
She looked at me as if I was a clown.
She said that if she knew that she would make them wear masks.
I said, “Well you do now…would you like proof? Get them vaccinated”.

She said, that she’d have to look into it. Then the rest of the group supported me in a very non-threatening way and showed her links to the age group deaths to prove it wasn’t social media, etc.
She was stunned.
We stopped talking about it after that.

I hope it made a difference. I know her friends and she’s more than likely a Republican, but I hope I made a difference.
