The Perfect Swing
I’ve had a flair for the game of golf since my father took me out to the local public course at age 6. Although I wasn’t immediately allowed to join the adult pairings for a casual round, the golf course staff took me under their wing, allowing me to help clean the golf carts and eat lunch inside the clubhouse. I began to take the game seriously soon after that as I realized by some fluke of biology that I had a perfect swing.
You could have taken my swing along with that of “Slammin’” Sammy Snead’s and created an exact composite. I went on to win numerous amateur titles and even thought about joining the PGA someday. Then life got in the way and my interests turned toward engineering. I never forgot the proper way to swing a golf club, but when I pick up an iron these days it takes a while to shake off the rust.
