Play Better Golf

I have great golf memories from my days at Indian Canyon Golf Course in Spokane, Washington.

One of my favorite club professionals there was  Bill Welch. He used to encourage me to read and learn all that I could. And he was not shy to tell me to lose weight or keep exercising!

So I’d often rise at 5am before High School and run a few miles before I hit golf balls or practiced my short game.

I lived a drive and a wedge from the club house of Indian Canyon.

As soon as I got home from school, I’d head out the back door with my golden retriever leading the way to the lush fairways of one of the most beautiful public golf courses in the world.

These were the days when not a lot of people knew about the secret of this beautiful golf course. That meant I had the course to myself many times late as the sun set.

With permission from Bill, I’d take my shag back out to the first tee and hit one drive after another down the narrow shoot of the first hole.  Usually a small gathering would form at the top of the porch outside the golf cafe of  regulars and strangers. They’d peer down at this chubby little 16 year old golfer hitting one ball after another straight down the middle.

I didn’t hit very far. But I rarely missed a fairway.

Those were the days…..

Since then I still have a passion to learn…and to share the golf tips I find.
