John, for two months, I drove much of the western USA, played memorable courses, reconnected with friends and expanded my limited horizons through this quest: breathtaking.

John: the fleeting perfect beauty of Transcendence. How glorious, a King’s experience – golfer and game united. Unfazed in quiet assurance: in willing reigned the very Will.

I hiked to Wisconsin for a golf weekend in August but the experience and journey did not include moving to Zimbabwe, Vail or eating queso.

Mr. Kavanaugh,


Is your wife's golf background available for review?


I assume that you have disqualified yourself?

My wife has been married to me for 35 years + or -. Her sense of judgement is indisputable.

I am disqualified because my best golf memory is from an event where I wasn't even there. Plenty of Q's and F's despite my lack of participation.

     Golf memory of 2015 was a beautiful day in March, last play before shoulder surgery.  Not quite realizing or knowing very exactly what just might transpire.

A week of magic hours in Lahinch with my son. We plumbed Dell, we roiled surf, we vexed jaws. Lazing in quiescence we found shared truths.

Seriously Joe, I'm disappointed. I expected something like...My wife packed my bag with five dozen liquor jugs, xoxo.

Traveled to Peter Jans Reverse National to hear quips and exciting tales of a miraculous, jacked wedge over an El train zipping by -- Shivas no doubt.

Exquisite birdies on the first three;
smiling tee to adjacent fairway;
thoughts only on the virtuous prize,
I shot my age the week I turned 73!

The wife and I played a dozen quick paced rounds at Dornoch. Judging from my scores, the gorse loves my pro v1x balls.

Doug - congratulations on a stellar round, at any age! And, if I know my Mrs. K, I think you're the leading contender.

Many a man have met their demise thinking they know Mrs. K. She is not a fan of the semi-colon. Shooting ones age is a great memory no matter how fleeting it may be. A contender, no doubt.

Welcomed by a ruminative golf zealot, enjoyed an extraordinary course and partook in the quintessential experience, nowhere like The Golf Club.
