Good evening. I’m just home from a big work dinner and I’m feeling frisky. But also confused as to why we are talking about soccer on this thread. Great sport for other countries or for short fast people. #Kihei. Why?
I digress. Let’s refocus and start talking about how we are going to change our offensive scheme and actually become relevant again offensively! I feel like we are losing focus and because we got some good guys in the portal we have pushed the offensive game-plan to the shadows. That can’t happen anymore. It’s arguably more important than our transfer portal acquisitions. Is it bad to want some good offense or is that asking too much?
Give me some innovative stuff on the offensive end and we can leave soccer alone.
My Dad, who was a very good athlete and played football, basketball, and baseball could not, in his later years, understand my desire to play golf. He pointed out that the ball was just sitting there so why couldn’t you just hit it however and wherever you wished. He never played.
I love golf because of the me time and the day drinking! I got my oldest daughter into it so I’d always have something to do with her as we get older.
Played Keswick many years ago and really enjoyed it, but I really loved getting out to Birdwood while at school. $5 to play was amazing. I remember taking summer courses in the Summer of 96 and I used to go out and play with a friend most days because it was so cheap. So hot and humid nobody was there. I do have a club out in a lake there from when it slipped out of my hand completely on the follow through.
See, I know what you guys are doing. You are just trying to rile up us guys that enjoy golf.
Three things:
It’s a great social SPORT. For the last 40 years, just about every friend or couple that my wife and I have spent time with have been people we met through golf.
It is a great competitive game. The handicap system really works. Guys of all skill levels can compete against each other.
When you get too old to run around a basketball or tennis court (or even Pickle Ball at my age), you may well be able to play a round of golf with friends or your son or you daughter. I am 82 and play every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I will be sad when I find this bad back and hip prevent me from doing that.
Seriously, it helps as you age to have something to fall back on. After college, I played basketball, softball, tennis, ran a couple of marathons. Eventually, I aged out of all of those things. If you haven’t tried it, you might want to give it a go. If, by some miracle, you happen to hit one on the screws, you will want to try it again.
We did. Won the Dogwood regular season and tournament every year except my senior year. We won the regular season but lost the tournament by a few strokes. I was never on a team that made it out of Regionals (graduated in '05). But they actually won the 2A State Championship in 2017.
