A thank you to Jim who unknowingly has rekindled a young cowboy ‘s desire. to hit the hardwood. Oh no, there’s no want to run up and down the court in games best left to kids. That part of the game packed up and vanished forty-five years ago. These days, there’s been just the sweet […]

Jordan Spieth has been playing some outstanding golf over the last fifteen months and finished second in a tournament at famed Pebble Beach this weekend.
