MCDavis and his family travelled to Naples this week for a vacation, and I was fortunate enough to be able to share a great day of golf with him, his wife, and their 13 year-old son, William.
Let me start out by saying that William kicked our butts, shooting a smooth 45-41 on a rather difficult golf course. If he had putted a bit better he may have broken 80, since he was hitting fairways and greens all day long. The greens were exceptionally slow, and we all had a tough time with speed control.
This kid has a swing, a GREAT short game, and a terrific attitude. He loves the game, and knows how to act on the course. MC, you've taught him well. It was really fun playing golf with him. And of course it was an honor and a pleasure to meet you and your wife. You're great people, and I consider you a friend. Thanks for a great day.
Sorry I didn't take too many pictures. But here's a couple.
William's follow-through. Pretty classic.

William hitting his perfect 200-yard tee shot to the island green on the par-4 11th hole. You either love this hole, or you hate it. He loved his par. I hated my 8.

MC and his wife. Wonderful woman. Why she picked you is beyond me...

MC hitting an nice recovery shot over the junk, over a bunker, to a short-sided pin (you can just see the flag behind the tree.) Put it to 6 feet and made the putt.

Well, it was another good Shottalk get-together, and I look forward to doing it again.
