Golf 2.0 – New Beginning
My beginning with golf came at a young age. Balmoral Golf Course was one mile from our lake cabin where I spent my summers as a kid in Minnesota. There was no head pro or instructor available that I knew of. We played, developed a way to get the ball around the course and never saw much improvement in our games. I wasn’t very good and struggled to control my frustrations with poor play on the course.
In high school, one of my closest friends, Greg Avant, was an excellent golfer. We played together now and then but it was a passion for him and and only an interest for me. When we’d play it was fun to watch him hit the ball and it was clear that he and I were playing the same game much differently.
My college years provided easy access to the Les Bolstad University of Minnesota Golf Course.
Is it okay to comment on your own story? I guess so, it’s my blog, pretty much no one reads it and this is an update to this particular story.
I played the front nine yesterday afternoon with my son, Mike, from the Member tees and shot a shockingly easy 38. Go figure. I know, it’s an 18 hole game. None-the-less, hope springs eternal.
