This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

You’re in the sweet spot. by The Holtz Room
I was about 13 or 14 when I could match my dad.
It’s more about the time spent with your son vs your score.
Spoiler, you ain’t making the Tour.
Now that my dad has passed, I look back fondly at all that time spent with him on the golf course as I was the only sibling that played.
He was very Zen like in both life and golf which he passed down to me. No throwing clubs, etc.
If I shot an 83, great! 93? No big deal, enjoyed it, try to do better next time.
Grab a cigar and have fun with your son. He’ll remember it. Trust me.
“Golf is a good walk spoiled.” - Mark Twain
And if he’s bragging next time he beats you, remind him he can’t drive home and it could be a long walk with his bag. I heard that one before.
