Mike, that is a true blessing to have memories like that.Louis- I haven’t played a round in over 30 years. Two reasons. 1). My back couldn’t take the rotation motion after being rear-ended heading down the shore for Independence Day fireworks off the beach in Wildwood(1998, I believe). 2)(and more importantly) I lost my golf partner when Dad passed away almost 30 years ago. We played a 9 hole executive course every Sunday morning. We would tee off every week at 7 am & get home in time to make it to church by 10:45. We played almost every week for close to a decade. From junior high til he got too sick to play. It was also my “home course” in high school, as I played on the JV squad. We were both hackers, so I wasn’t good enough to play varsity. Based on some of the schools in our league(plus some nearby “non-league ones), I got to play some pretty exclusive courses, like Tavistock Country Club & Pine Valley(which was also an über-exclusive borough unto itself- population under 20 & has been rated as #1 course in the country over 30 years since 1985). Pine Valley borough was dissolved a couple years ago, with a population of about 12. The main gate to the club is across the road from the Pine Hill Scout Reservation.
It's good to see your post old buddy!
