Al Shank Sez.......No Hole In One...but a Fun Day!

As a part of our 80th Anniversary, Al Shank Insurance was proud to be a part of the 2021 Liberal Chamber of Commerce Challenge Tournament. We sponsored the $8,000 Hole In One prize on the par 3, 150 yard, 7th hole at the Willow Tree Golf Course and even though Saturday was a no winner day, 20 teams (80 golfers) took their best shot at the prize. There were still winners, but just not of the ASI $8,000. The tournament benefits the Liberal Chamber and its' programs. It was a great day of great fun.

So did I play Saturday? Not  a chance! I adhere to the Mark Twain quote, "golf is a good walk spoiled." I would love to be good at the sport. I grew up on a golf course, and still live on the golf course in the house I grew up in. I played when I was younger, but now haven't played in years. I think it has to be one of the best mental toughness sports. I admire people that can hit a good shot after a good shot. For me, I admire even more, those that hit a bad shot and can regroup by the very next shot, put the bad shot out of mind and hit a good shot. I'm just not one of them. I hit bad shots throughout the match until close to the end. The last hole or two are usually when my best shots come. I have learned that these best shots are just the "siren of golf" saying......hey, you can do this....it is really easy....come back and play again....you can do it.....and I go back.....and it isn't really easy......I can't do it. So I have learned to avoid the "siren of golf" and it's sweet, beckoning voice and call. I admire those that can do it and make it look easy. I like seeing a good golf shot....I'll probably just see it from  my patio.....beverage in hand.....chilling out. 

Back to Saturday, a special shout out to part of my ASI crew; Lynde, Amanda, and Elsa, that helped me staff the hole and witness every shot by every golfer on that hole that day. Thank you!
