I had never beat Alan at golf. I hit the ball further and if I play a hole right, it can be much easier for me to score better than him. Alan has always proven to be a better golfer than me and by a pretty wide margin. He plays consistent, he chips well, putts well, and avoids the big mistake (Not to mention his ultra competitive nature). I actually was pretty certain I would not be able to cross this one off my list. On friday, I shot my low round of golf (an 82) which I had no birdies but 10 pars. Alan shot a 88 and didn't play his best round but I like to think that even if he did play well, it would have been a close one. I didn't drive the ball well but I hit some great long iron shots and played the par 3's better than I have ever played them. I was very happy.
NOW... beating Alan seemed like an unreachable goal but I didn't even think to put "Beat my DAD at golf". I am the only one in my family not to hit a hole in one but I can now finally say that I can beat any of them on any given day. That being said, I will humbly take my "W" and move on because if history has been any indicator for the future, I won't find victory all than frequently.
