Some professional g...I've told you this before:<br />Some professional golfer--I think it was Sam Snead--once had an interesting dream. This is how I remember it. He was playing in a major tournament. He tees off on the first hole, a short par 3. The ball drops in for a hole in one! He thinks, "What a great start!" The 2nd hole is longer--a par 5. He hits a powerful drive, which goes a little to the left. It bounces off a tree & lands on the green, where it rolls into the cup. He can't believe his luck. Holes 3 through 17, all are somehow holes in one! He tees up on 18, confident that he's about to get a score of 18 for the round. He swings, hits & the ball heads straight for the flag. It drops on the green & rolls toward the hole--& stops, 1 inch short. He's going to get a never-before-made score of 19 for the day, but he had the same reaction as any golfer would have to that shot. He said, "Oh, shit!" My point is that no one is ever truly satisfied with their game!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-75349251252592066852016-06-17T00:07:32.260-04:002016-06-17T00:07:32.260-04:00Yeah, I was gonna say you have to keep your head d...Yeah, I was gonna say you have to keep your head down (not necessarily your) Uncle Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705753220273516841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-76986069171386797562016-06-16T22:17:11.725-04:002016-06-16T22:17:11.725-04:0054 yrs. time for papa to find a brand new bag...54 yrs. time for papa to find a brand new bag...TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.com
