I found this driving range deep in the woods a few minutes from my house that no one ever goes to, and whenever I’m there alone, I play perfect lmao. So easy to imagine him yelling at me about my form before each swing.

You don’t live in southeastern Massachusetts do you? That driving range sounds eerily familiar.

Nah I’m in Jersey unfortunately. They do have some great courses here tho.

Wish I had one range like that near me. I’m trying to learn and it’s embarrassing how bad I am.
I guarantee that the people who judge how you look when you’re learning how to swing are the same people that weren’t hugged as a child.

I promise my swing looks good (I can’t putt to save my life) but I don’t give two shits what others are doing at the range. Just go have fun man.
RIP to your dad. I literally thought the game screenshot was a pic of him. That’s amazingly accurate. Pretty cool.

Lmao I put in a good amount of time trying to make it identical. I appreciate it.
Good? Bad? Who knows? RIP Brother.

Thanks man.
What’s your definition of terrible though? If you’re comparing yourself to your dad that’s one thing, but you might not be as bad as you think. Your dad was in an elite category that a lot of us will never achieve.
@Robin
Damn. Well said man. Really hard not to compare myself to him because I always tried to live a somewhat reflective life of his. In reality, I think I’m remarkably average at this game, but it takes a lifetime of practice to really be consistent. All I know is I intend on being good at golf by the age that all my friends decide they should get into golf.
You’re doing your dad dirty lol he is not that chunky in the pics of him condolences, my friend. Love that we have technology like this to keep memories alive.

it’s the puffy shirt I swearrr.
That’s super cool.
This hits hard. I’ve golfed my whole life, but my dad and I golfing together growing up was a strained time. We finally actually started enjoying playing together the last decade or so but only get to do it 1-2 times a year. His recent diagnosis though means we probably will never get to again.
@Jo
Really wish I took the time to appreciate how good he actually was at golf when I was younger. Never took any inspiration from it until it was basically too late. Having 10 years of enjoyable golf with your pops is top tier brutha. More than most I’d think.
Great story, and your username made me lol. Here’s to your dad.
Thanks for sharing, really emotional read.
