Your Golf Buddies
Favorite Rounds and Personal Bests
I don't know about you guys and gals, but one thing about
golf is certain for me. When it comes to what I revere most
about this eternally gratifying and infinitely mysterious
game, more than anything the super-satisfying, seemingly
"heroic" rounds and experiences take center stage.
You know -- the sentimental and the breakthrough rounds
played on favorite old, perpetually challenging courses,
especially the rounds played with, and "against,"
dear friends and playing partners and competitors and rivals.
It's memories of these kinds of days and rounds that sustain
us and keep us coming back for more. Oh, we also play golf
just to get outside and take in some fresh air and have
a nice "walk in the park." And we want to be with
our dear friends, who mirror back to us our deepest pleaures
and authenticity. But when everything awe-inspiring about
the game of golf is said and done, isn't it the Golf Memories
of peak experiences, the magic days of personal "glory"
and "ecstasy" (and "agony," too), that
we seek and treasure above all else?
That's what Your Golf Buddies
Favorite Rounds and Personal Bests is all about:
Getting these most unforgettable and treasured golf experiences,
accomplishments, pleasures, and memories down on paper,
albeit electronic paper, so that we can go back and recall
the genuine triumphs we had, details and experiences worthy
of recalling when our memories need refreshing and we wish
to go over some of our fondest golf moments.

One big problem with "memory," though, is that
a lot of the neat details of such spectacular and unique
golf experiences fade over the years. We simply forget.
Even if we keep some of the scorecards, we forget the names
of old golf buddies or great competitors who filled out
our foursomes that day. We forget the gorgeous shot our
rival hit on #14 to get home in two on the tough par 5 or
how exactly we managed a 3 on the 216 yard par 3 7th hole
-- had we hit the green in regulation or did we get up and
down from the trap or was that some other time we played
the hole?
In brief, over time, we tend to forget the most exhilarating
thrills of our devoted golf lives. Heck, make that "just
plain lives." Isn't golf just "a metaphor for
Life" with most all of us serious, passionate, lifelong
golfers?
Hence, Your Golf Buddies
Favorite Rounds and Personal Bests. That's our reason
for being. A place to get these experiences down on paper
in all their glory and detail before the memories that gave
us such sweet, permanent, unalterable meaning and
fulfillment fade.
Well, "electronic paper," that is. Your
Golf Buddies Favorite Rounds and Personal
Bests is dedicated to preserving our most memorable
and meaningful golf rounds, recording them for our lifetimes
and even posterity. We can show these to our grandchildren.
Strangers, too. These experiences are, after all, uniquely
inspiring. They're one of a kind and irreproducible.
