I player one round of golf. I figured 18 holes was enough to see if it held any interest to me. It did not. My first shock was how expensive it was and how much one COULD spend with ease. The only part that was fun at all was the 19th hole.
My dad had to get into golf because it is a unwritten REQUIREMENT for an Air Force officer. Many days instead of getting into uniform he would put on his golf clothes to go meet a general on the golf course. I always was amazed that somehow the generals could get the prime tee times on the perfect weather days on very short short notice.
Many high level top secret briefings were done on the golf course.
He played golf on many continents and in many places.
