Gar's Golf Sojourn

Return to the Game

When asked “How long have you been playing golf?”, my initial response is over 50 years. However, depending on where the conversation goes, the backstory could cover taking lesson from L. B. Floyd (Raymond’s father); the journey from hitting golf balls toward the hole and playing golf at a plus three; time spent as a golf rep and as GM for a small golf startup company; burnout and 15 years totally away from the game; the rediscovery of the golf as the “grand ole game”.

With all of that being said, if it was not for my grandson seeing a picture of a Maxfli Demo Day and asking “Who’s that?”, there’s no doubt that I would have never picked up a club again. That simple question set in motion my rediscovery of this “grand ole game”.

And, now, my blog, sharing the trials, tribulations, and triumphs in my pursued to beat “Old Man Par” and the courses, places and people I’ve encountered along the way during this lifetime endeavor.
