True... The way I started with guitar was that I played keyboards in a band and we wanted to do a Beatles medley
where we changed instruments, looking much more talented than we really were. The guitarist taught me C and Em,
enough to play Eleanor Rigby. It took about 2 hours practicing the chord change until I had it perfect.

It became my part and I got hooked.

In a way, I started playing golf the same way. My mother got me a cut down 7 iron and a putter. Every time
I actually got the ball up in the air with the 7 iron, it was a natural high and it's now 53 years later,
with no less a great feeling when I create a well struck shot.
