My little brother was always the best at golf. He is a scratch player now. I have a million stories about growing up in the golf biz...my Dad always said there was no better way to make a living in sports when you were playing well...and no worse way when you were playing poorly.<BR/><BR/>Thanks as always for the visits and comments!<BR/><BR/>MLM.Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02898845239082082494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7573430815753455393.post-55712373515574494132008-11-03T19:06:00.000-08:002008-11-03T19:06:00.000-08:00When I was 12 or so, my cousin worked as a golf pr...When I was 12 or so, my cousin worked as a golf pro at a course on Hilton Head. He did the tour as well and was sponsered by Royal. Drove a white Porsche 911 and had A Lot of girlfriends. He was so happy.<BR/><BR/>I decided to follow in his foorsteps and took up gold and private lessons at a private CC on Lake Norman in NC. Our 1st CC outside the military. I sucked. And I swore. Being an army brat I swore a lot. This did not go down well with the locals. I've hated golf ever since. Although, I do have to play at least a couple times a year and have learned to put 3 balls in each pocket lest I slow things way down. <BR/><BR/>Epic, a great piece and I must say, Scotch and a Martini?

Next time, I'll open my eyes, too.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure I approve of iced whisky, but I'm willing to suspend judgement until the second round.<BR/><BR/>Golf? I'm a duffer of the worst sort.

A friend once said to me, "The woods and I have an agreement, 'I feed it balls and it gives me shade'." Yet I've found that I often come out of the rough with a few extra golf balls in my pocket, and more often than not, a decent lie on or close to the green. That's the feeling I had after reading your post. Something magic can happen in the rough, if we but go where the game takes us.
