Golf takes practice. Amen. It is the most challenging sport I've ever
played. It's all up to the individual, no other players or refs to blame.

And, it's more exercise than walking on water while fishing, which I'm
close to but not yet there!

A friend who's been playing for many years gave my son a used set of clubs,
and took him out to play 3 times. The kid's never done anything but futz
around at a driving range, or play miniature golf with an ice cream cone in
one hand, but he shot 88, 84 and 83 in the 3 games! My friend was
flabbergasted. Now, my son wants to take me out so he can humble another
adult. He seems to be a natural.


There was a seven year old on the news the other night. She was swinging a
45" (full size) driver and hitting the target every time. She would then
switch and do the same thing left-handed. The driver was longer than she
was tall!

If he scored that well on a regular 18-hole course, I'd get him some clubs
and encourage him all I could. Many colleges have golf teams!
