I have friends, good friends, who I used to play sports with, who are now golf pros, and teach golf
at courses around the world, but maybe not around the world, but at least in Florida and/or the Caribbean.
I always wanted to play golf, but I wanted to take lessons before I played. That is not happening, because as most of you know I am in a wheelchair.
Now, it would be impossible for me to get into a bunker, and most importantly, get out of the bunker. Besides the point, I despise the hot temperature. Maybe it is for the best.
I played tennis, and I barely had enough coordination to be fairly proficient. I never had the temperament, not to mention the skills to be a good golfer. I had plenty of friends who were excellent golfers. Now, I'm just one of the few, who enjoy watching it as opposed to playing it.
There is a song, that sums it up, "I am not a player, I just… A lot." Not really, not even close.

Jimmy,
ReplyDeletefairly proficient at tennis? You're being extremely modest. You and the tall Armenian would have formed a hell of a doubles team.

My Assyrian friend,
ReplyDeleteyou are much too kind, my serve was horrible and he would've never wanted to play with me, the only reason why I did okay was the one year, at the state championships, qualification to the quarterfinals, gave you all-state recognition.
But thanks for the compliment, I guess those were the days.
