Last issue we asked you about your first golf experience – your golf origin story, just like a superhero! – and to share that memory with us in a short survey. We enjoyed reading deeply moving stories about how golf saved your life, on playing as children of immigrants in different parts of the country before settling into Texas golf, as well as those of first golf memories playing with relatives to celebrate their life.
Among the heartfelt reflections was a special entry from TGA Member Todd Brown:
“My unique story is the first time I played golf with my son. We were playing at a small municipal course in Andover, Mass., called Rolling Green Golf Course. My son was going into first grade, so we went out to get in 9 holes together. We teed it up on the first hole, a 150-yard par 3 and I got my first and only ace! We stood on the tee box and watched it hop and roll in. First time playing golf together, first hole, a few days before entering first grade and an ACE! Unforgettable! We stepped up on the next hole, a short par 4 of about 300 yards. I rolled it up on the green, and my son said, ‘Tough break.’ I guess he was expecting me to hole every shot. Again, unforgettable.”
Talk about expectations!
We received nearly 200 entries in last issue’s survey, and we thoroughly enjoyed getting to know how our TGA Members became the golfers they are today.
If you’re not doing so already, this issue’s engagement piece will have you dreaming of golf. We want you to share with us your dream golf destination and companions in another brief survey! And though we’re not a genie of any sorts, perhaps we can grant you a custom set of Edison Golf Wedges to build your golf game up, meanwhile.
