Oh to be a kid again…


Don’t you remember when you were 13 years old and pounded a drive 259 yards down middle of the fairway on national TV at Augusta?  I sure don’t!  I think I hit my first 259 yard drive last weekend and it wasn’t even in the fairway.  When you sit down and think about it, it’s really pretty neat to be able to have an opportunity like that as a junior golfer.  The Drive, Chip, and Putt event that is hosted at Augusta gives kids a great opportunity to grow in the game, show them what they are capable of when the pressure is on, and hopefully get at least 15 minutes of fame in the coolest way ever!  A lifelong dream of mine is to play in the Masters.  That dream has changed a bit these days to hopefully get to walk on Augusta, and I will have that dream until I am just hopeful to be able to walk.  The talent is out there and events like this can showcase that talent.  Way to go PGA! Oh, and to walk the grounds at Augusta!  Kids have it so easy these days!  What do you think?
