There is something different about playing a course for the first time.

This was my first morning at Lakeview Golf Course, and the experience had that fresh feeling of not knowing the course yet. Every hole felt new. Every shot came with a small sense of discovery. I was reading the fairways as I walked, understanding the greens slowly, and letting the rhythm of the course reveal itself one hole at a time.

The horse teaches you before you teach it anything. You slow down or you get nowhere. I kept thinking my grandfather would have understood this animal faster than I did.
