Every Tom, Dick and Bubba!

Other than Music I love the game of Golf. I've been playing the game since I was in High School. I love everything about it. My son Cooper played a ton when he was a kid in many Jr. tournaments. We traveled everywhere to watch him compete. I taught him the game. I've seen him pull off a few hole in ones and some "Bubba Shots" that were amazing. I really believe it's what the new generation does more than just solid basic shots from the fairway. They are way more creative than the old school guys were. I used to watch all these kids Coop hung out with and they would try and out do each other with trick shots. Coop used to love to hit out of the woods and over trees and any obstacles. It was more fun for them.
I'm a Bubba Watson fan. More so now not because he won The Masters but because of the way he reacted to the win. No Ego, cockiness or arrogance. Just sweet surprise and humility. Plus he never took a golf lesson!
What I'm not a fan of is I get this bad feeling that everybody now is gonna think that they can play golf just because Bubba can. They will get in their heads that they do not have to take lessons and that someday they too will be able to win The Masters. That they can just step on any course and play. I can only guess what this will do to golf courses around the U.S. It's hard enough to play a decent round these days without being held up by the hackers. Now this! My big fear is now all golf courses will be filled with every Tom, Dick and Bubba that think they to can play.

FORE!!!!!
