Hi All!
Just getting started in the game.
For sixty-nine years I successfully avoided this sport. Last Saturday, sitting on my next-door-neighbor's deck, enjoying a Bourbon or two, he mentioned he'd be golfing the next day. We got to talking about it. He suggested I try a few swings. "Sure. Why not?" Wouldn't you know it: After a few practice swings I put my very first ball about seventy, eighty yards right down the middle of his yard with his 7-iron.
That was probably my downfall
Ok, that was fun. But I still had no plans to actually pick up golfing. Figured I'd pick up an economical 7-iron, some raggedy old balls I could knock into the woods and go collect in the fall or next spring. Then my wife reminded me the husband of a friend of hers that had passed away a couple years ago had been an avid golfer and had been about my height. She gave her friend a call and, yes, I was welcome to his old clubs.
So now I have a bag and clubs, and have signed-up for a beginner's golfing class to begin in July.
Boy, that escalated fast!
Plan right now is to see how the classes go. See if the game suits me. Then move on from there.
