- still lost between two shores..
I received a blue ribbon- first prize- for my African Violets plant in an elementary school science fair. I was 9 or 10 years old.For something... Anything..
How old were you? And.....What was it for?
Aside from playing?
Prolly single digits (in my mind) if I maintained it
I'd throw out the blow ups
Played some pretty tough sloped courses
Learned to shape the ball
Considered getting my senior tour card
Stopped considering after chatting with a few trunk slammers
Tough game
Putting comes and then it goes

Wow! I'm so impressed with everyone here with your trophies, etc.
I never really thought about it before, but you got me to thinking -
Like others here, I got most of my awards during school years -
Received a trophy in Greek school in 1st grade
Won the Spelling Bee in 4th grade
Raced in Junior Olympics - got ribbons
In High School, received Varsity letters and numbers for Volleyball (3 years)
In High School, joined the Honor Society (senior year)
Later in life -
Received honorable mentions for my poetry
Received scholarships for college - as a result, college was free -

I know it is a tough game! I was the guy out there on the course, who had to break up the fights! Mostly joking, but a bit is true.
But, you know, I love the game. I didn't play much, just a beginner really. But still, had plenty of fun.
Personally, I think the pros are superhuman or something. Hard to believe some of the shots they can make.

As a Ambulance officer with Metro Toronto Ambulance my self and my partner Randy Ivany were awarded the Order of Ontario for rescuing a Ontario Provincial Police officer from a burning patrol car in 1979. I served in the Canadian Forces reserve in a infantry unit for 15 years, and received the Canadian Forces Decoration for long service in 1986. JimB.

times?
I didn't run track. But did a lot of running in basketball and tennis.
Timed..I did break 5 in the mile and I broke 60 in the quarter. Not amazing, I know, but decent.
I think I could have brought my quarter time down to the low 50s. The mile time, I really may have had some potential. Maybe a good chance to bring it below 4:30.
Oh, I miss running. Injuries took me out of the game early...
I know they are
Out of the 1000s of rounds I played, only one stands out
It was a tight course
My ball was like a heat seeking missile
I out drove the dogleg on the eighteenth
Then hooked the ball (on purpose) out of the rough
....onto the green
Two putted for par
I was ready for my senior card......I thought
Yeah, I loved it too
Some sorta masochistic thing

The Montana State Department of Fish and Wildlife is advising golfers to take extra precautions, and be on the alert for bears while playing on Gallatin, Helena, and Lewis and Clark National Forest’s golf courses.
They advise golfers to wear noise-producing devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert, but not to startle the bears unexpectedly.
They also advise golfers to carry pepper spray in the case of an encounter with a bear.
They say that it’s also a good idea to watch for signs of bear activity on the courses. They recommend that golfers be educated so that they can recognize the difference between Black bear and Grizzly bear droppings.
Black bear droppings are smaller and contain remains of nuts, berries and possibly squirrel, rabbit or gopher fur.
Grizzly bear droppings have small bells, golf-gloves, sunglasses and other similar golf items in them and they usually smell like pepper spray.

Jus' wanted to give you a laughy thing too
Too good
Yeah, it's a good old joke. My step-father was a golfer. He had some great golf jokes. Trying to remember them. If I do, I'll send them along...
I've heard most
Played many 19th holes
But
Memory loss can be a good thing the 2nd or 3rd time around

ok, remembered one. I heard this as a slightly different version, but this is decent, I think:
This priest decided to skip church one Sunday morning and go play golf
He told his assistant that he wasn't feeling well. He went out the back door and got in his car. He drove to a golf course in another city, so nobody would know him.He teed off on the first hole.
Just then, a huge gust of wind caught his ball, carried it an extra hundred yards and dropped it right in the hole, for a 450 yard hole in one!!!
An angel looked at God and said "What'd you do that for?"
God smiled and said "Who's he going to tell?"
