When I was a lad in my 20s, as carefree and debonair as any other underpaid newspaperman, I happened to be a golfer who could flirt with par fairly often, and I was adventurous enough in those days to play any known or unknown thief who showed up at Goat Hills for whatever amount he fancied.

High school golf, college golf and the decade that followed all come back to me now as one big raucous, goofy gangsome.

I haven't looked for a golf ball since mulligans were free, which was a law I passed in 1995.
