Birthday Revisited |
Back in late 2003, I visited them for the first time and was fitted for a new driver. I was so happy with the results, I have been back for a fairway wood, a loft wedge and for new shafts for my irons. Now I was ready for a new putter. It's not that my old putter was bad, mind you — but you golfers will understand — I just felt that I could do better. |

However, the real treat was meeting a REAL golfer. My playing partner is a member at Club West and plays there frequently — like more than 300 times a year! It turns out that he works in the collections department of a mortgage company and works a split shift — five hours early in the morning then three or four hours in the evening. In between, he plays golf. Now that is the second-best working arrangement I've encountered for any of the golfers I've played with. The best deal was for a guy (and his wife) with whom I was paired on Maui during my retirement celebration vacation six months ago. His profession is managing a hedge fund investment portfolio. The people he works with are all in Europe. So he works evenings on Maui (during the European day) and plays golf every day — ON MAUI!!! Not a bad deal — if you have to work. |
Life is good.
Aloha,
B. David
