Father’s Day at Chickasaw – Something Special
By Dave Wells In a continuing effort to share actual “on course” golfing experiences with friends, Father’s Day at Chickasaw Country Club in Memphis was something special. My wife, Nancy, and I decided to play that Sunday at 9:09 a.m., a wee bit early, but sure would beat the crowd and the heat. That’s what we thought.

Reflections can be found in many places in addition to the obvious places, like mirrors or water. They can be found in the sunglasses of a friend you are talking to, on the wall of a building...
