<p>Maybe not. Let me throw out another theory. Many moons ago my son and I showed up at the NAB Little Creek golf course one Saturday morning. We were asked to join another pair. The younger of the two men called me aside and explained that his partner was in a very foul mood and had just had his two pickups impounded that very morning pursuant to a nasty on-going divorce and that he would probably drink less on the golf course than he would were he allowed to stay home. No problem. We teed off. Casual conversation revealed that they were both SEALs, the younger a CPO and the older a Master Chief. It was a very quiet foursome. About the fourth hole, the Master Chief teed up, waggled a few times, and then, in his inebriated state, very carefully bent over, laid his ball on the ground, picked up his tee, and placed it about 6" from my nose. In a very alcohol-laden breath he informed me; “It takes a real man to play with a pink tee.” Again, just as carefully, he bent over, replaced the tee, placed his ball back atop of it, picked back up his driver, stood up, and approached the ball a second time. After a few waggles, he stopped, backed off, and turned to face me again and stated “And it takes an even bigger man to say something about it.” I suddenly remembered that I had to mow the yard that morning. However, my favorite dress shirt is now pink. </p>
<p>Perhaps the reason that there is not a croquet team at WP is because it takes real men to play croquet.</p>
