If you could send a note [through time] to yourself as a beginner, what would it say?

Dont believe the hype, there is no MAGIC club that will fix your slice even if it is adjustable. Swing smoothly, and have fun. It's a game for cryin out loud.

Hey dumbass,

You never play college golf because you've got a 10 cent head...  and you blew it at the state tourny your junior AND senior year.  You never play amatuer golf because you hurt your back on a stupid 4-wheeler.  You basically stop playing at age 30 because you have a beuatiful family (...and a bad back) that takes up the majority of your time and money.

In short, this game only takes from you and never gives it back.  Heartache and dissapointment lie ahead.  Learn to play the guitar instead.

Hello Younger Me,

If you are past 9 years old and still don't play golf then you are a moron. Do NOT wait until you're 53 to start! You will regret it!

Save lots and lots of money. When Google IPOs in 2004 at $85/share, buy as much of it as you can. Yes, it seems like a lot of money but it's not. And yes, it's really called "Google".

Take up my friend's offer to take me out on the course and show me how to play.  If I had done that I might have been able to golf with my nephew before he died instead of golfing in a annual scramble in his honor.

Lost tee balls ruin scores; You don't need to use the driver.

Note to self (July 1968).

Don't do anything different until 1983. Then stop playing 3,4,5 times a week and enjoy your wife and children or you'll end up getting divorced.

Find balance in your life.

Yo, get your parents to move down south so you can play more than 5 months in a year!
