2009 March | Golf Course 101

Hello World!

Thank you for returning to Golf Course 101! A new way to learn about golf and life.

I started playing golf when I was 14 years old and it was the summer before my freshman year in high school. I didn’t start playing because it looked interesting or because I would get a good tan. I played because my Dad knew it would be good for my life.

He handed me a club one day at Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, Texas, and said, “Here, try this.”

I’m not sure how many holes we played that day or what the weather was like but I knew one thing – that the game was frustrating. So many things to think about like where your hands are supposed to be, angle of the club face, wind speed, lie of the ball. But once I got the hang of it, it was something that I could work on. It was an automatic goal in my life and over the years has taught me so many things about passion and life and love.

I intend this blog to be a forum for brand new golfers as well as the experienced pros. A place where people can share their stories and get advice. A place where you know that you’re not alone in this crazy sport called golf.

As I take you through my experiences, please feel free to post your own stories and comments!
