Greetings GolfLink !! Having walked on a course to play for the first time in Mid-June of 2007, I’ve found it reassuring, on those occasions when I venture into the woods after my golfball, to find my ball as well as other errant golf balls. It was then I realized: there really are other golfers that are just as bad I am; and they’ve probably been playing longer too. Of course . . . "If I expected to never lose a ball, Then I would have only bought one." !! I hope your game has led you down as many happy trails as mine has led me . . .
