There were free lessons for children on at the range near my home when I was around 6. I'd go down every weekend and hit a few balls. The stopped it after a few months and I didn't get back into golf for a while.

Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus.... They were the top players when I first took an interest in the game, and it was watching them play on TV that really piqued my interest. Nobody in my family played to any significant extent before I did. My Mother would go out and knock it around a bit (very badly.... very very badly, and my Dad was worse) about the time I was graduating from high school, but I think mostly just because my Dad got a free CC membership as a perk for his job.

I never caught the bug until some 10 years later when the PGA Tour started being broadcast more regularly.

My father taught me how to play. Had me started when I was 3 years old and never stopped playing. Played a lot in middle school and everyday in highschool. But now in the military with family so lucky if I get to play once a week.

My Great uncle I guess... hes 90+ years old and hes telling me stories about how he plays golf (still) every other weekend... so I was like, man if he can do it I can do it. It would be nice to learn a sport that I can play for the rest of my life.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.

      My Favorite Putts

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.

      Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.
