Golfing for Charity and Scholarship
I played once at the Tacoma Country and Golf Club. I had a nice hit on the first tee. Our foursome went to our balls. My friend John Post looked at my drive and his drive and said, “I don’t recall the last time I was out-driven by a 32 handicap.” Often you just get […]
