Two friends. Starter asked if a 15 year old could join us.

It wasn’t crowded, so we said sure. We figured he might slow us down a bit, but he’s learning, so we said sure.

Turns out the kid is the nephew of a well respected local PGA
teaching pro.

Kid bombed the ball and had great touch around the greens. Shot a legit 80.

This kid was so polite that we watched our language.

Best not to stereotype young people.

They make it seem effortless .... which is depressing.

has it healed enough for you to be able to play again? sorry if i missed it, but i never heard back....

On a standard public course he’s consistently in the 70’s.

Hope to see this kid again.

Great golf courses cannot continue to be stretched out.
Courses like Merion and The OCC will still hold serve,
But many will not.

It’s well documented.

At the OCC it’s hit the fairways, greens in regulation below the hole, and then navigate the delicious greens.

Job.

It’s a shame that dog legs are now just short cuts.
