I don't know about some of you folks, but I find golf bridges not only generation gaps, but generations gaps as well. One of my regular playing partners is a young man of 23. We are only separated by 40 years. In most anything else in life you normally wouldn't find two people with that kind of age difference hanging out together, but with golf we can and we do. Out on the course there is no age difference, our bond is this great game. We have a great time every time we tee it up.
On another note, this is one talented young fellow. In only his third year playing, and self-taught at that, he consistently shoots in the mid-70s. I have yet to see him post a score in the 80s. What's also impressive is how far he can hit a golf ball. His ball speed with a driver is in the high-180's.
In any case, one of the things you have to love about this game is how it brings people together; age, race, sex, or whatever doesn't really matter. Golf transcends a lot of the BS we see in society today.
