Quotable…
“I started playing golf at the age of 10 and my dad taught me all the rules; how to swing the club; and everything that goes with golfing. ‘Till this day, I’m still learning how to play without wanting to break my all my clubs…LOL.“

Most Interesting Golf Experience:
Many years ago, I was on the 14th hole at a course that shall remain nameless and I was having my typical bad round. I was so frustrated I decided to hit my drive without using a tee…big mistake. Our cart was parked about 50 feet in front of our elevated tee box, so it sat a good amount lower that we were. My ball duck-hooked directly towards the cart, split the two bags on the back perfectly and smashed (I can vividly remember this as if in slow motion) through the Plexiglas windshield leaving a softball-sized hole in its wake. We finished our round, parked the cart at the clubhouse and high-tailed it out of there!
