MOST GOLFERS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY GOLF WITH THEIR KIDS ON A FREQUENT BASIS, UNFORTUNATELY MY SON LIVES A 1000 MILES AWAY. WE SEE EACH OTHER ONCE A YEAR. HE IS ONE OF THESE YOUNG GUYS THAT HITS THE GOLF BALL A MILE. HOWEVER, HE DOES NOT HAVE A CLUE WHERE THE GOLF BALL IS GOING MOST OF THE TIME.
HE COULD PROBABLY BE VERY GOOD IF HE DIDN'T HAVE SO MANY OTHER HOBBIES LIKE DEER & ELK HUNTING IN COLORADO, BIRD HUNTING IN WEST TEXAS AND THE REST OF HIS SPARE TIME IS SPENT IN HIS $50,000 BASS BOAT. TOUGH LIFE, BUT HE DOES WORK SOMETIME.
WE GOT TOGETHER FOR A ROUND A FEW DAYS AGO. HE'S PLAYING AT ABOUT 6800 YARDS AND I CAN'T SEE THAT FAR LET ALONE PLAY FROM THAT DISTANCE. HE PLAYS 3 OR 4 TIMES A YEAR AND EXPECTS TO SHOOT IN THE UPPER 70'S. I PLAY TWICE A WEEK FROM 6200 YARDS AND GET IN THE 70'S OFTEN. I DIDN'T TAKE UP GOLF UNTIL HE WAS GROWN AND MOVED AWAY. I GUESS THE POINT OF THIS WHOLE STORY IS THAT I NEVER REALIZED HOW GREAT IT CAN BE SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR ONLY SON ON A GOLF COURSE WITH SOME FRIENDLY COMPETITION AND ENJOYING EACH OTHERS COMPANY.
TILL NEXT TIME.
