- Pulling into the parking lot of a golf course
- An interesting driving range
- A far left stall position on the driving range with a pyramid of pristine range balls
- Straight line divot patterns on the driving range
- An encouraging driving range session
- Crack of dawn tee time
Playing anywhere with John, Dave and Joe- A vacant 1st tee box

- Clean clubs

An invitation to play at the Country Club of York, Lancaster Country Club, Stonewall, Naperville Country Club and The Founders Club- A trace of humidity in the air
- New golf clubs
- Finding a mint conditioned Titleist Pro-V

Seeing Abe on a greens mower and then again in the 19th Hole- No double or triple bogeys on the card…a very unlikely scenario!
- Heading to the 19th hole, telling a story or two, laughing at my inane play and/or our golfing adventures
- Writing Bad Golf Guy nonsense every week, trying to make my friends chuckle
Note: A week or so after generating my initial list, I went back to take a final peek. I found it fascinating that there were only two bullet points (out of thirty-nine) that referenced the actual playing of the game:
- Hitting the fairway on the 1st hole
- No double or triple bogeys on the card…a very unlikely scenario!
I truly love what the game of golf brings to my life!

The back nine can only get better!
The one common theme about your so called bad golf game is the 3 clowns shown in the above picture that you continue to play golf with. Could they be a part of your bad play? Just something to think about. Love the picture of Stonewall Old Couse Hole 18!
Not part of the problem at all…some may suggest however, that you are all gluttons for punishment as you continue to play with me!
As always well thought out Jim and enjoyable to read. Thanks as always for sharing.
I appreciate your “follow” Tim!
