So our new friend Robert Silk over at Golf Tantrums recently did a piece about my Uncle Marcie’s epic flame-out from golf.
Uncle Marcie you’ll recall quit the game by throwing everything – clubs, hat, and shoes – into the reservoir bordering Valley View Golf Course one day. I’ll leave you to read Rob’s story here, but the next time you think the game’s got the best of you, remember old Uncle Marcie. At least you’re not as bad as him!
That being said, Uncle Marcie we miss you every day! He spoke seven languages fluently, he was a sublime dancer, every kid in Oneida country has a brighter smile because of his orthodontist work, and he was a faithful friend to everyone. Sometimes golf is cruel to the wrong people, but I guess that’s one of the game’s draws…it doesn’t play favorites.
In the meantime, get ready for live action from National Golf Links of America and the Walker Cup.
