The Game of Golf,
Jim's Way
(title page)
----------------------------------------------------

This book was created
especially for
James Kyle Wilson,
at the age of 35
A golfer without equal!
June, 2007

----------------------------------------------------
The game of golf, as we know it, was developed in Scotland in the early 1700's.
Since its humble beginnings, the game has exploded in popularity around the world.
From its legendary stars like Slammin' Sammy Snead to the current crop of
rising young stars on the PGA and LPGA tours, the game has been played many ways.
Then, there is Jim Wilson's way!

Jim, along with Brian and Michael,
often tees it up on their favorite golf course, Red Hawk Country Club.
When this happens, the only thing safe from their golf shots is the middle of the fairway.
Worms, trees, ducks, fish, and birds are in mortal danger!

----------------------------------------------------
Rumors to the contrary, Jim is no cheapskate.
Jim may be a bit frugal when it comes to less important issues
like retirement planning, dental work and back-taxes,
but not when it comes to golf equipment.

----------------------------------------------------
Jim learned long ago that golf is a game you play to win.
After all, there's usually a wager or two at stake.
Over the years, Jim has learned to hold his breath on his back swing,
play the ball where it lies, and never worry about a little water.
11
----------------------------------------------------
Golf is not the most important thing in Jim's life.
He knows how to set priorities and how to put things into perspective.
It is not true that Jim once played an entire round of golf in a tornado.
He played 17 holes, and then his golf clubs blew away!

----------------------------------------------------
A perfect game happens when every drive is down the middle of the fairway,
every green is hit in regulation, and every putt is knocked into the center of the cup.
Some golfers even aspire to the ultimate accomplishment: shooting one's age.
Jim has no trouble shooting 35.
The problem is that he does it on the first few holes.
15
----------------------------------------------------
Most "good" golfers have a collection of shots for every occasion.
These include a fade, a draw, a bank shot, and a bunker shot.
Jim also has a collection of golf shots,
including the worm burner, the skull, and the pop-fly.
His best shot is called "Ooops, that's a mulligan,"
so named by Brian and Michael.

17 & 18
----------------------------------------------------
Years ago, a golf handicap system was invented.
This system was designed to let golfers of different skills
and abilities play against one another on an equal basis.
The idea is to take the best 10 rounds of a golfer's
last 20 rounds and use these to determine one's handicap.
The system has one major flaw for Jim:
he has never played 10 rounds of golf that were worth counting.
19
----------------------------------------------------
One of the reasons Jim plays golf is for the exercise it provides.
Other activities were just not right for Jim.
He tried swimming, but he kept sinking to the bottom.
He tried tennis, but the net kept getting in the way.
Jumping to conclusions was fine, but it tired him out.
Golf provides exactly the right amount of exercise
for a finely tuned athletic body like Jim's.

----------------------------------------------------

21 & 22
----------------------------------------------------
After most rounds of golf, Jim usually joins Brian and Michael
for a visit to the 19th hole. This provides them with a chance to rehash
the shots of the day, settle the wagers, and plan their next outing.
The scene is usually the same. Jim delays in the pro shop
until the drinks are bought. Then, he rehashes all of his unlucky bounces,
pays off his debts, and leaves just before it is his turn to buy.
23
----------------------------------------------------
Despite his apparent lack of skill, Jim still
manages to hit the occasional good golf shot.
There is still talk about the birdie Jim got last year,
when he miraculously hit his shot out of
a deep bunker and right into the hole.

25 & 26
----------------------------------------------------
Jim Wilson and his partners play golf for the love of the game.
For them, it's an outing, a chance to get close to nature, and a way to relieve tension.
Jim once said, "Every time I hit the golf ball, my stress level goes down."
Otherwise, why would he hit so many shots?
27
----------------------------------------------------
Jim has always dreamed about writing his own golf book.
Some of the titles he has considered include:
"Jim's Tips on Lining up Your 4th Putt"
"Golf and Divorce: Do It Jim's Way"
"The 19th Hole: How Jim Never Buys"
28
----------------------------------------------------
Illustration pages
29 & 30
----------------------------------------------------
Despite suffering through years and years of frustration playing golf his way,
Jim has always remained a good sport. His demeanor is beyond reproach,
he never loses control, and his voice is never loud enough for anyone
over a mile away to hear. This, together with the fact that Jim
always pays off his losing bets, makes him the perfect partner.
31
----------------------------------------------------
The game of golf is certainly a challenge to Jim Wilson.
Many friends, including Brian and Michael, ask why he even plays the game.
The reason is simple: Jim enjoys watching miraculous events such as
a long putt dropping in or an iron shot finding its way into the hole.
Jim would enjoy it even more if he were the person hitting these shots.
32

Illustration pages
33 & 34
----------------------------------------------------
Dear Jim:
Enjoy the game as you play it.
Don't let your scores ruin your day.
Think of golf the same way you think about bowling:
a higher score means a better game.
