I have always held to the mantra, “You can’t play golf and have fun at the same time.” Making a double bogey on the first couple of holes always seems to ruin a good round before it gets started. Losing a brand-new Titleist in a pond, deep woods, or tall fescue has the same affect and quickly brings one’s temperature up several degrees. I guess that is why most guys drink on the golf course. It helps drown the sorrows of golf balls forever lost, drowned in the depts of despair. However there have been on occasion a round that clings to your memory like a dead fly on sticky paper. Last August, I had one of the more memorable rounds in my 55 years of playing this stupid game. If you are not a professional golfer trying to fill your bank account, or trust fund with millions of dollars, golf is about spending a few hours on a verdant course losing expensive ProV1’s and having a few laughs.
