My Intro to Golf
Back in 1962 my mom remarried. Due to Asthma condition they decided to move from Miami, Florida to Los Angeles. Was mad at the time about a new "dad" and the brothers and sisters. The First 2 yrs did everything I could do to break them up. Then one day in June of 1962 my stepfather and I followed your progress. My step father thought you were the best on and off the course. We'll to make a long story short, he ask if I wanted to go play some golf with him. Now I look back and remember that day with great memories. Did my attitude do a 180 ? No, but from that moment on we grew closer and I went on to play on the High School Team. Still play at least once a week. Dont play when lightning, but in every other condition....LOL. Both my Stepfather and Mother(passed away last year). I sure miss them. But have wanted to write you this note about how much you've done for the game and my relationship with my 2nd Dad.
Sincerely,
Nick Balikes
