I never finish anyth
my Dad. He was a lousy golfer (still is) but enjoyed the game. Mom got him into it as a way to unwind from work. When I was about 11 or 12, he got me a cheap starter set and would take me out to Scenic View GC in Slinger, WI near where we lived. It was a goat patch at the time and cheap to play. We'd go out early Saturday morning when the dew was still thick and rent pull carts and play. As a treat once in awhile he'd rent a cart and we'd ride. Wow...that was the big time. I enjoyed the game even though I stunk at it. I stunk at team sports even more cuz I was a skinny little runt so golf was a way for me to compete at something without getting hurt. when I turned 13, Dad got me a caddying job at North Hills CC and I got to see how the upper crust enjoyed the game. I worked there for a couple of seasons and had a blast and made enough money to buy a nice 10-speed bike after my first season. I also got to meet a bunch of celebrities in the annual Vince Lombardi Open pro-am event. My 2nd season, I actually got to caddy for Jim Lovell not long after the Apollo 13 ordeal.
I played golf with friends all through high school but never played on the HS Golf team and kick myself for not doing it now. After I went in the Navy I drifted away from it...again, kicking myself for never taking the time to play when I was in Scotland even though there were times I had the opportunity. (too busy chasing girls back then, oh well) I tried to get back into it after the military but got married, was working my tail off to raise a family and would get out once in awhile as a treat. Fast forward to 7-8 years ago...I started up again as I began to have more time in my life and am nuts about the game now. I got my wife into it and we have a great time playing together. When dad and I get the opportunitiy to visit, we always get together and play a round but now we go to my club and ride in my cart. :act-up:
