Those of you that read this, and from what I can tell, it’s not enough for my day job yet, know that I don’t talk about golf that often. Why, you ask? For the most part golf is boring, and for the life of me I cannot comprehend how hitting a ball that isn’t moving, can be the most difficult task on the planet.
