I have played Pebble twice since, but they don’t measure up to that first time.
You never forget your first time

I see what you did there!You never forget your first time
That’s just great. I wish my sons would have taken to the game.All the times I've gotten to play with my son. He has two toddlers at home and a demanding job, so he plays once or twice per year, much like I did when I was his age. We got to play together in a scramble this past Sunday, and it was just great.
I consider myself very fortunate.
I'll always treasure those weekend 9s and 18s when he was in his teens and early 20s.
I feel the same way about my dad. He never had the time or means to be able to golf, but he loved sports and was naturally athletic. (I inherited only the former.) Shortly after I took up the game, my parents came to visit and he saw my bag of clubs. He said, "How often do you play." I told him I was in a weekly league and I usually hit a driving range about five minutes away.
"How far?"
"C'mon, let's go."
So we jumped in my car, and when we got to the range, I gave him my Sam Snead Blue Ridge driver. He was 6'4" and about 240 , which is about how far he was hitting a baby draw driver after about three swings. I'll always remember his smile that day. I regret that we moved eight hours away shortly after that, and he never got the chance to have an active retirement, because I think I could have had him playing and enjoying the game.
My sons first birdie.
