True story. My wife got a "real birdie" on her first round of golf and on her very first hole. At the time, she had no idea how unusual it was for her 20 yard chip shot to roll into the cup on that par four.

When we got to the second hole (a par three) she looked at it and said "this one isn't long, I should do better.". I laughed so hard that tears were coming down my cheeks! I think she had a triple but she claims it was only a double bogey.

She has become a good golfer. But we will always have fond memories of that first time on a golf course. Keep swinging never give up.
