As this year's Sr National Championships at Innisbrook, where the PGA competes in the Valspar Championship each March, get underway Monday 9/19, I am sitting in my living room with a heavy heart missing the action. True I love to compete, but what I miss the most is the opportunity to compete against and with my fellow golf junkies. I miss the competition, the comradery, the stories we tell for the umpteenth time. The laughs, the highs and lows of the season, all the crazy shots made and missed, and yes even those 1 stroke what if or only if loses. Golf is a unique game. It is one that is played and shared. And only those who play can fully appreciate the emotional roller coaster competitors face.
