Well here we go. My kids have been telling me I needed to blog about this so I suppose I will. See, I am turning 40 tomorrow. Not very excited about it, but I have two goals for the next year. One is to shoot 40 on a 9 holes of golf. Possible you say? Not probable. See, I haven't played that much golf over the years. Been toying with the game for 20 + years and have never seemed to develop that confidence between the ears to play the game. Why can't I though shoot a legitimate, count every stroke with no mulligan 40. I mean, this guy wearing his Green Jacket was seen at a Krispy Kreme and he is not too junior to me in age!
This is also ironically the month of Harry Vardon's 140th birthday. A contemporary of his, and yes to my oldest I had to throw in a couple of Brits, Ted Ray made the comment regarding golf "Golf is a fascinating game. It has taken me nearly forty years to discover that I can't play it."
Well here I am at age 40 tomorrow and I am going to prove in the next year that I can play it. On my first pre-40 attempt yesterday I shot a respectable 49 that included putting at four pars, double bogeying two par 3's and getting one snow man. Got to redo that hole some time?!?!
Over this next year I will hit my goal of 40 at 40 or die trying!
