A completely different game

I've been hanging around with a lot of the top prep golfers in our area recently ... Dillon Klein of Delphos Jefferson, Tony Conn of Van Wert, the whole LCC roster. And it got me to thinking -- the 68 Conn shot at Country Acres on Thursday is something I cannot imagine. Heck, I've been close to 68 after a bad NINE.
These guys are playing a completely different game than me. Klein drops a 320-yard drive dead perfect in the middle of the fairway. Conn snakes home a 20-foot putt for birdie. I top a drive to the left that travels 75 yards deep into the trees. My 20-foot putt is for double bogey and stops five feet short of the hole.
God, I love this game.
