The old man still has it…
So my wife was talking with Grandpa Service a few weeks ago and he mentioned how much he misses playing golf. Well, today - after a 4 year absence from the links - Grandpa played 9 full holes…
… and he still has it! We played at Grandpa's "Home Course" (Nibley) and he rocked. I've never seen a man hit a 3 wood so consistently! He is the master at 100 yards - straight down the fairway. He even beat me on two holes! - That is mostly because I can't putt to save my butt, but he still beat the other couple we played with. They were amazed that a 98 year old man was able to golf like that.
Grandpa was a little worried as we stepped on the course saying, "I hope I can still hit the ball… I feel like I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with a handful of wheat!".
Well, I think he even surprised himself… but he REALLY enjoyed himself, so we are planning on playing once a week through the summer. This is GREAT! I finally have a golf partner and I won't go broke playing because at Nibley it is only $16.50 for the TWO of us with a cart for 9! Love it!
I took some pictures with my phone… I'll try take the real camera next time.
