My friend Kurt D. got me interest in golf back in high school, he lend me his 5iron that I bend at the driving range. Kurt was on the high school golf team and I just started going to the driving range by myself.

Kurt does not play golf now but I have been playing for 24 years. Kurt D. is my oldest friend that I have known for over 46 years. Every year on our birthdays we call each other and give each other a hard time.

Who introduce you to golf?
Thanks in advance for your replies

My dad. We used to live in the city and every day after school me and my friends would play some type of sport, usually baseball or basketball. Then we moved to the burbs where the kids would go home from school and watch TV. Bored out of my mind my old man introduced me to the game that he hadn't played since taking it up as a gym credit in college. For the first year I could only go out and play when he came home from work and played along with me. Then the next year they let me go to the course by myself.

My Dad introduced me to the game. I used to tag along with him when I was kid and be his "caddy." I would usually play a hole or two, but I never really caught the golf bug back then. I look back now and regret that because we could have had a lot of fun together on the course over the years. But at least now that I do have the bug he's still fit enough to be able to play. I'll be playing a couple of rounds with him this weekend as a matter of fact.

When I started in college for Engineering, everyone said "Learn golf. The best business deals are made on the golf course." I never got around to it.

Then when I started in finance, everyone said "Learn golf. The best business deals are made on the golf course." I never got around to it.

Then when I started working with the bank out here in a retirmement community with 9 golf courses in town, everyone said "Learn golf. You get the best customers from the golf course. Besides, its a great waste of time, and out here its really cheap." So, I picked up a cheap set of golf clubs and headed over to the driving range.

Nobody else in my family plays right now. But, I'm hooked, so hopefully I can convince them to play with me.

A buddy of mine and I went to the driving range one day just to mess around...I hit the ball pretty well. The following year, went golfing for the first time. A year after that, I found myself on a golf league and now people think golf is all I do!

My brother. He kept going on and on about how great this game is, he's a single digit HC and I was like "sure, sure."

I was on a business trip to Arizona, where he lives. We hooked up for a round of golf at his course. Talk about convincing: beautiful fairways, top not greens, water, everywhere, incredible practice range. I was hooked.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.

      Day 562, May 17, 2024 Spent a LOT of time on GEARS stuff today, so while waiting for imports, exports, and all manner of things, I did some rehearsals in the mirror and camera in my basement.

      Day 16 (17 May 24) - Plans to play a local course with a good friend fell through, got with my son to play Minnesott.  Turned out to be a great day of golf - as we were playing behind the Friday Men's group, pace was steady but not rushed or dreadfully slow.  Had a solid day of ball striking - managing 11 of 14 fairways hit, 8 GIR and 5 nGIR, 27 putts (including a hole out chip in from just off the green to save par with the 56deg wedge).  Shot a new personal best of 76 (39 front / 37 back) from the gold tees (just over 5,500 yds).   Was a good day and my son had a decent day for him as well with an 88.
