Today I played golf with a friend who when he was younger and played lots of golf was a pretty good golfer. He was in the Army for years, settled down and 30 years later is trying to pick the game back up. I normally give very little instruction on the course, although have given him some tips along the way. Today he was driving the ball very good but leaving shot after shot to the right. On the 17th hole, a picturesque little par 3 overlooking the Intracoastal waterway, here in Myrtle Beach, he topped his tee ball into a pond. He was irate-frustrated, so I decided to give him a tip as to why this was happening. After the tip, I said, "Joe you'd better hit the best shot of your life after I've broken my vow to not give you instruction." You guessed it, right in the hole for a par. My stock as an instructor went way up. I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.
