From Bayliners to golf.

interesting.

Well, while we're on golf, I confess I've never played the game and
know nothing about the sport, except you're supposed to hit the little
white ball into a little cup in the green of the course.

OK, that's my knowledge.

But I did have an Uncle that lived in the Chicago area , and was a
golf addict. He was not only good, but very good. He had played with
some big names like Palmer, and Player etc and was friends with them..
In the local Cook County club tournements and scrambles, he was pure
venom. He had loads of trophies and awards lined up on shelves in his
studythat spanned 20+ years.

The bad thing is that he was a victim of broken dreams. He was a hot
shot in the local clubs, but evidently not good enough to make it to
the big times. But then again, that really didn't bother him, he played
golf until a month before heart faliur claimed him at the age of 86.

I played once with a guy who was an avid golfer and had been since he
was a kid. He observed my typical amateur baseball bat type swing and
had me walk to the next tee flopping my arms and hands around like a
fish out off water to loosen up. He said I was gripping the shaft too
tightly and my arms were too stiff.
On the next tee shot I relaxed my grip and arms, addressed the ball,
performed a perfect backswing, drove the driver down towards the ball
and watched my driver, not the ball, fly about 100 feet down the
fairway.

Did you yell "four" ? UD


Not exactly, but it *was* a four letter word.
