Attention sports fans.

Who has Reluctant Dater turned into? First it's an entire Monday Night Football game. Then it's an entire day on a golf course. Why the sudden interest in sports? Because men flock to sports. And, now, I know to follow.

Hanging out at sporting events or charity tournaments is an awesome way of putting yourself out there. Much more my speed than the online dating means that were the inspiration for this blog.

Yesterday I volunteered at a company sponsored charity golf tournament. Romance Junkie was right--what a wonderful experience that is. A friend and I were positioned at one hole for the entire day, which allowed us to see all of the players come through. By virtue of my role, I had to talk to them all. Beer, golf and cute girls (and hottie players) makes for a fun day. The fact that RCB was there (and playing exceptionally well) did not make matters worse.

Things that I learned on the links, in no particular order.

1. RJ was right--beware of the gloved left hand.
2. The beer cart lady is your friend.
3. Pick and learn a couple of key phrases and make some "expert" recommendations. If you smile and look cute, they will believe whatever you say.
4. Men are cocky. If they know you're watching them, they mess up. So, tournament organizers, it's good to put girls on the holes where there are big prizes to be won.
5. Throwing grass in air to check which way the wind is blowing makes you look really cute.
6. Cheapskates lose hot points quickly. It's charity, aholes.
7. Conversely, genoristy is very attractive.
