While I really only started playing golf 6 years ago, I have grown to love the sport. It has been a perfect channel for my competitive juices, that playing basketball or running used to fulfill. This upcoming weekend "The Sports Dads", (Steve and myself), will take on a Presidential Challenge, and play Harding Park golf course.
This whole endevour began in the spring of 2008. My day job is that of a publishing sales rep, and during our main selling season two years ago, I made a deal with my wife. If I hit my sales goal, she would get a pair of earrings, and I would get to play Harding Park. Well, I smashed my sales goal that year, and the only thing that has delayed my adventure was the Presidents Cup that was held their last Fall. In preparation for the event, the course significantly cut down on the number of tee times, rasised the rates, and lenghtned the rough.
Now that the Presidents Cup is in the rearview mirror, Saturday March 27th has been on our calendar since December. While I have improved each year I have played, my goal for this weekend is to break 100 from the white tee's. Wish me luck and we will keep you posted.
You have a better chance of being on the up side of 200 than you do of breaking 100 at Harding Park!
