Although I love to get out and enjoy the fresh air and the hit the ball on the golf course, I have never had the time to devote much attention to the sport. Getting serious about golf in your mid 40's can be very challenging, especially when all of the people you know have been playing regularly for many years.

My advice to any young person is to take up golf as early as possible. It is a sport that you can play long into your later years and it is a very social game. Many business deals take place on the golf course and many negotiations are concluded after 18 holes.

The first few times I actually remember even being on a golf course were in 1982 at my Junior College in Tonkawa, Oklahoma. There were no greens, no fairways and we pretty much were there to empty a few beer cans. Those were the days of Caddy Shack which might explain my fine golfing attire.

Here are a few shots from my buddy Kyle Shirm (Photographer Extraordinaire). These may very well be documented proof of the first time I ever played golf... enjoy!
