About eighteen months ago Charlie Bethel -- my younger son who does not play golf but with whom I share a passion for the written word, and who was working on his own writing project while he was visiting me -- suggested that I start writing a golf blog. Over a pleasant alfresco lunch on my deck we talked about that suggestion. Quite honestly, I'd never considered blogging. I'm a writer of books. But I followed Charlie's suggestion and found an intellectual, literary, and spiritual home in blogging. It's a dynamic form, offering an almost instantaneous connection with my readers, providing a venue with an embedded feedback loop, a virtual conversation.
You are crucial partners in this ongoing conversation that I enjoy so very much.
