The first time

I began golf in April 2002 at the age of 35. My dad had already been playing golf for a few years and I was a (poor) tennis player since I had no physical condition. But I could teach kids. So I was looking for another sport which would allow me to meet people, to breathe fresh air...I had tried golf a couple of times, but I wasn't good at all : I couldn't even touch that naughty yellow ball ! And it really hurt when the club touched the practice mat... Or I missed it several times in a row, air shot they call that...After a new try in April at the Montpellier Massane golf in the South of France, I decided that the ball would not tease me any more and back home in Troyes, in the East of France, I went to the local golf club, La Forêt d'Orient.
