Best golf memory: My dad and I play in a
father son tournament every year at one of the best courses in Missouri. The
first year, we had a practice round with my mom and my aunt. My dad struggled
and I wanted to help but he was extremely frustrated, and to be honest, I was a
little scared of how we would fair in the tournament. The first day of the
tournament, my dad and I played extremely well going into the 17th hole. We
came up with a plan to scare my mom so we pretended that we were mad at each
other after the round. My mom was so scared that she went inside to the pro and
asked him if he knew anything about why my dad and I were so mad at each other.
My mom was still talking to the pro when my dad and I entered the clubhouse and
the pro asked my dad how we did. My dad proceeded to say, "Well, if he
could have hit a fairway off the tee today, that would have been nice!" I
came right back at him by saying, "well he couldn't make a two foot putt
to save his life!" I then proceed to turn away and start laughing, and my
dad says, "You know why he is turning away? It is because he cant help
himself to laughing because this is all a joke and we had the time of our
lives!"
