That’s why I prefer miniature golf.

a truth well spoken

Mini golf is much better.

Bowling is just throw a strike. Then do the same thing eleven more times.

I’ve got 20 more years to get the details in there….

If I could take my range game to the course I’d be on the tour. It is amazing how much of a mental game golf can be.

When I was in 8th grade, I took some golf lessons, mainly because my best bud had taken up golf. After my first lesson, I was waiting for my mom to pick me up when four guys from my grade showed up and asked if I wanted to play with them. They offered me advice as I stepped to the tee for my first drive and I smacked it right down the middle of the par 4 hole. I outdrove two of them, which was pretty good since one would go on to be State AAA golfer of the year while the other would become a golf pro in Arizona. I was on the green in three but triple putted for a double bogey. Still, not bad for a first hole and I was thinking this is going to be easy. Second hole was a par-five, uphill, dog leg and I was all over the place. Shot a 15 (!) on my second hole. Not going to be as easy as I thought.

It is all about the equipment

turn dad around left handed and he looks like Freddie Freeman’s swing. I always wondered how freddie does so good with that hideous swing
