After graduating from Adams State College in 1967, I bounced around the NFL for 4 seasons with 3 different teams, and finally got busted up badly enough that nobody had much of an interest in me any more. I tried the construction business with my father, but working just seemed to take too much time away from my new found love ... the golf course. I was fortunate enough to find a way to make a living out of this love, and had a 20 year career as a PGA golf professional ... never once having to say, dammit, I've got to go to work this morning. At the age of 50 I had to make a decision to either try the senior PGA tour, or give up the game and find something else to do, and fortunately for me, I chose the latter. We bought a couple of jet skis, a time share on a houseboat at Lake Powell, and I got to know my wife and two kids again.
The kids are now married and gone, we sold the houseboat, and one of the jet skis is at the bottom of the lake, but it was a wonderful 10 years, the memories remain, and after not playing for about 11 years, I'm playing a little golf again.
My wife Judy and I will celebrate our 30th anniversary this summer, we're both healthy, and all is good at our house.
We look forward to seeing everyone soon.
