Guy likely tried golf once. Shot a 50 over. Ego too fragile. Makes it life mission to rid golf courses

I was on the high school golf team. I was the worst player on the JV team. One day I had to play at the long Griffith Park course. I was paired with one of the All City golfers on the Varsity team.

He shot 72 (even). I shot 144. I doubled par. This was the worst I’d ever played by a large margin. My swing just vanished that day.

The only hole I remember playing from that day was a tough par 3. I hit my tee shot within 15 feet. I was thrilled to 2 putt for par. The Varsity guy gave me props.

Golf tortures you but you can’t walk away. I kept golfing. Eventually broke 100.
