Don’t waste a minute of golf
I received the below from Michael. I’m not sure who the original author is but it certainly applies to what I’m trying to do here. Also highlights the importance of “playing golf” – the story also sounds a lot like some golfers I know. Enjoy, Thanks to a “former” golfer who no longer can play,…
