Making It Clear
Short par 3 and I had chosen a seven iron, when a well-turned-out gentleman appeared.
-Bit uphill and a wind in your face. Don’t be vain. These younger fellows can hit 7s,
but 5 the club for you.
-Maybe I am being unrealistic.
-And hit it full. Don’t baby it!
I put a good knock on the 5 and the ball ended a few feet from the flag. Everyone cheered, but the new person just looked the same. Supremely confident. I thanked him and
-Do you just walk the golf course and help...?
-There are relatively very few of us, but we call the shots.
