A few years back, I played many solo early bird rounds and enjoyed walking the course in solitude. Today should be no different! Continue reading →

Teaching Golf to Juniors

/ The Grateful Golfer / 11 Comments

Yesterday was a fun day for me! I was fortunate to go to the range with Chase, 8 years old, his Dad Jody and his Uncle Kyle (both Jody and Kyle are my cousins). Since Chase recieved his clubs a month ago, he anxiously waited to go to the range for the first time.
