Golf is a funny game. I bet at this very moment you are making a list or running through scenarios that support this statement. This crazy game is infinitely simple, yet extremely complex.

Yesterday I played in the last leg of the regional Senior Men’s Ryder Cup competition. We did not have a chance to win, but had a chance to finish second.
