I played another round with my old man yesterday, and he did something entirely uncharacteristic. He succumbed to hitting a driver off the tee on a par 3 — that plays 192-yards. Well, you just knew he was going to catch a lot of razzing from me, but that didn’t seem to bother him. Nor did it bother him when his attempt only went a 100 yards either. Instead, he hits this awkward-looking, trap sand wedge shot 90-yards to within 7-feet of the cup. Somehow, his ensuing putt rolled in for par.
Anyway you look at it, it is still a 3 on the scorecard. But I’ll never let him forget how he got it!
