I have golfed since the age of 6, maybe 8. My aunt took all of her children, grand children, nieces, nephews and related souls to the local course (@ 6:30 a.m.) to give the course and the game, a chance. For me, it stuck. I was raised on public courses and have been an "amateur" throughout life. I've loved the deep experience of it all. I play in local social leagues besting a few sometimes; a bogie golfer, bothered by a handicap moving into the '20's as I age. My major golfing achievement: one hole-in-one (in front of students no less, and yes, we finished the round. I made them!) I am now recently retired as a former professional educator whose career moved from high school to college, to include graduate studies and culminated with an academic deanship. Most simply described, I was/am an eclectic learner with deep interests in social science and sport with over 40+ years of combined teaching, coaching and administrative experience. I now enjoy reading broadly, more swimming, hiking, biking, and of course, golf, as well as the trials of landscaping and drawing. Movement is important to me—Newton's Law of Inertia.
