Hall of Famer
My dad gave me my competitive spirit and I always go out to play to win, whatever the sport and in the case of golf try and shoot a personal best each round. His ethic was lose with good grace and win with humility.
My dad taught me how to play footy with both feet.
But City folk didn’t play golf when he was a lad.
He was a class footballer and played until his early 50s.
As far as I can tell I am the first in the family to play golf.
I used the side wall.I taught my grandson to play with both feet when he was about 6, we used to walk up and down the pitch passing to each other right foot one way left foot other way. Simple little drill.
He loved that and at boys level he was the only true two footed player in his squad.
He has since taught his wee sister to use both feet and she is starting to make a name for herself as a tichy goal scorer.
My dad was ambidextrous he golfed and wrote righthanded and shot and ate lefthanded.
My dad did this when I was a youngster to teach me to dive left and right when I said I wanted to be a keeper. He'd ping then left and right and teach me to dive properly and as I got older to react when he started to vary it up.I used the side wall.
He made me play right to left foot then left to right.
I spent hours there .
Happy days.
Tried it with my grandson , and I have lost it!!!
