Basking

Good thing my buddies were around on Saturday May 27, 2017 at the Red Tail Golf Club because up until hole 12 there was nothing exciting happening with my golf game. I teed up a ProV1, took a ¾ swing with my 9 iron and dunked the ball on the first bounce from 135 yards. As I looked in disbelief, I turned to Tony Pack and said “did that just happen”? Tony, the athlete that he is, was fully extended in a vertical leap with arms raised, reminiscent of Phil’s spectacular leap in the 2004 Masters. Needless to say, the high fives were awkward, yet joyful. Friends Gardner, Nutter, Chiviles, Pack and Fuji looked on with cheers and applause and as I think back I believe they were more excited than I. As I sip my scotch and replay the shot over and over in my head I can’t help but think “I wish my Dad was there”. And yes Paul Gardner, I am still basking! Paul Quinn
