PGA, anyone?

Watching today's PGA championship on TV, I'm struck by the number of players carrying their umbrellas and resembling, to a certain extent human mobile mushrooms.  Hah!  

Quite a game, this golf!  Or so many think.  Aiken is a golfing community, that's for sure, with the Augusta National just down the road.  Tried it once, in New Albany.  

I wasn't exactly a great golfer, there, that's for sure.  Pretty good at putt-putt, though.  C'est ca!

And today, May 28, 2023, watching a PGA program on one of my local free channels, I am recalling one time when a friend took me to Augusta National for a just before official play began view of what was done and who was doing it.  Certainly do not remember the who's, but the game hasn't changed one iota.  Just like I wrote about somewhere, when I was playing in New Albany at my Uncle's farm.  Some still putting their drives exactly where they needed to be.  Others, like me, putting them a bit off course and having to correct for their initial mistakes, and finding that time to do?  While everyone else was progressing around the course?  Ah, golf!  Great game, right?
