I think my favorite thing about golf is that no matter where in the world you play, no matter what the weather conditions are, no matter who you might be playing with and no matter what time or season in which you play, golf is essentially the same game, adapted to everything around you.
I've been playing golf for about 56 years by my calculation. I found I had a natural feeling for the game and I became very good at it at a very young age. It paid for my college education and the golf course was the site of many of my fondest memories and greatest accomplishments. Regardless that old age and back problems have left me with very little of what my game once was, I certainly enjoy it as much as I always did and since it's not a competition to me anymore, I might actually enjoy it more.
When I step onto the golf course, any golf course, I feel like I've come home.
