One thing that we wish that we all had more of…time. Many golfers that I speak with say that they wish they could play or practice more, but they just don’t have the time.

I can remember my junior golfing days like they were yesterday. Little did I know, during those early years, how much golf would impact my life. It was my father who first introduced me to the game.
