you never know what a round of golf will bring your way, sometimes just a round of golf and then sometimes something special or lasting happens. way back on march of 2010 i entered into a golfweek amateur tournament at riverwood golf club in clayton, nc. I played a pretty good round that day and shot an 87...thinking for sure this would be in the money for my flight. i entered the scoring area to find that i was tied for first place...woot! then they told me it was playoff time, sudden death. i went to the first tee and shook hands with the guy who had also shot 87 that day, we played and he won (if you don't already know, i have a horrible playoff record). long story short he and i became good friends and play golf together usually at least once a week if not more. he is the cow farmer and has helped me understand a lot about the game of golf and the people who play the game. he keeps you laughing through the entire round. he has a unique affection for the opposite sex and we have yet to find someone he would not like to have fun with.
now not only did the cow farmer come into my life, but he brought a herd of his other friends. most of which are regular guys and a blast to play 18 with. there is one of his friends who has also become one of my friends his name is puddin'. puddin' is a man of small stature but large on game. you know one of those regular guys who hits it the fairway and on the greens. a guy who i will call the counter is the one who gave puddin' his name, the counter is one of those regular guys you just can't help but like...just a regular guy...who hits a 3 wood farther than just about everyone reading this hits their driver.
so the next time your playing a round with a new regular guy make sure you get to know him, might turn out to be a good friendship.
have a great memorial day weekend and on this holiday weekend golf your balls
