That stealth plus driver is taking the place of my ole butter knife 1 iron.
Who other than Lee and I think @Link- played golf in high school/college?
My parents did the same thing and I feel the same way for the poor golf shop staff. Pawning 10-15 y/o me off on them all summer instead of paying a babysitter is bullshit (but I'm forever grateful they did). Plus at $100 per summer for an all-you-can-play junior membership, smart move.I played in high school. My folks lived on a golf course growing up and decided a better option than taking me to some kind of daycare somewhere was to just buy me a golf pass for the summer. So I grew up on ole North 40 golf course in Lincoln.
In hindsight it was kind of a dick move for them to expect the pro shop to keep my ass in line but I ended up doing little odd jobs to earn range balls and got a good golf game out of the deal.
Problem is I hate the damn sport.
I’ll play 2-3 times a year and shoot high 70s low 80s.

Mom would drop me off on her way to work around 7:30am, I would hit balls and practice short game, then play with the 9AM old guy group. Eat a hotdog or something then hop in with the 1PM old guys group. Finish up and mom would pick me up at 5pm.
I would also pick the range, clean and gas up carts, etc.
I had the diamondback with front and back pegs with a rotor but, yep, a lot of similarities. Would go back.Yup exactly the same way I was.
I’d have babe Ruth baseball at 8am every morning at Mahoney. I’d take off on my bike (mongoose with pegs back when mongooses were cool), with my baseball bag and a change of clothes. Finish up practice or a game at like 10 and ride my bike over to North40 where I left my clubs, change clothes - play the executive 9 then their back 9 par 3 course. Clean golf carts, go pick up range balls that went past/through the net. Get a hot dog, soda and a free jumbo bucket. Then play another 18 and go home.
I still have the thickest damn calluses on my hands from those summers.
