Golf was always to me a boring sport for boring people, but what I have discovered was just as exciting as a nail-biter basketball game or a high-speed soccer match. I learned of a sport that I love, that at one point I never would have considered playing. I never imagined that I, of all people, would enjoy golf, but I was wrong.

“Whoosh!” goes the golf ball as it flies by after being stricken by Clay Seeber, followed by a shouting of “In the hole!” from the gallery. If Clay Seeber seems like an average child at first glance, then look again.
