And by the way, did your son start golf at 7? My son is only 5. And you speak highly of your son's skills on the course but how are yours? I started late... was on my high school team. Got pretty good though. For a girl.  Haven't played much lately but think I can still hit the $*#%! out of the ball.  |
I write for a living, mostly boring technical stuff as well as some operational financial stuff but I do also write about various management topics. I have done some fiction that seems to entertain. I have also done ghost writing (serious money in that!) but due to confidentiality I can't go into too much deets.
To answer your question, I do talk the way I write which is problematic when ghost writing. I normally have to spend a bunch of time with someone to get their voice and character into my head otherwise it sounds like me and no one wants that!
As for golf, start him now. Max started when he was 5. He is a pretty athletic kid anyway (he gets that from mommy - she was a jock in school, farm raised and was built like a gymnast) - he was riding without training wheels on his bike before his 3rd birthday, was on rollerblades when he was 3 and could throw decently at a little over a year old. When he was born he bridge-n-rolled onto his chest and lifted himself up with his forearms and looked around all to the amazement at the nurses. He is a naturally strong kid and fantastic coordination and hand-eye skills. He thinks he is invincible which has landed him in the hospital a few times but I think (hope) he is starting to understand that he is not bullet proof.
As for my game, back in the day I could consistently drive over 275. I predicted my first ace on the t-box while golfing with my bride and two friends. She about died - 128 yd, three bounce roll, I faded gentle due to a left-right 7 knot breeze. A soft butter-stroke with my lucky 7 on the 7th hole on the 7th of May. Sense that day I have not taken the game seriously and it has shown in my meager efforts!. But, if you ever wanna play skins...well I just might have to take you up on that challenge!
