I'm Bobby Lewis… And still crazy after all these years My interest in golf started in my early 20s â€" some 36 years ago. I picked up some old clubs in a thrift store and drove to a local par three golf course in Arcadia, California. There I met a large bucket filled to the top with what appeared to be cracked rocks with funny names on them. Well, I watched a few people on the range for some time and then started slashing at them with an old persimmon 5 wood I bought, and within the first 10 minutes I was getting them out there a good 20 yards or so, and the divots 25! Needless to say, I needed a transfusion from the exertion I was putting on all that swinging, but after about a week, I was finally getting the ball off the ground â€" you know about 100 yards now. I didn't know how or why, but they were just flying better. A young man, close to my age, stepped up next to me one day while I was wearing myself out and said, "Hey man, how come the shaft on that 5 wood is so bent?" W |
