    What do you do when you achieve your life's goal at a young age?

    This guy will probably spend the rest of his life trying to recapture this elusive and sublime glory:

    I doubt that shooting 18 for a round of golf is achievable, so I just continue to chase the dream... that North Korean dude does it all the time, but for the life of me I know I'm not that talented

    Suppose if I ever shoot in the 60's I'll put the clubs away, don't think I can top that... 74 is closest I've ever come, long way from 69

    nah, cause once you shoot 69, you'll just want to beat it

    Don't think I have a chance of breaking 70 from the tips anymore... had too many injuries and surgeries. Didn't play at all last year, and only a couple of times the year before - I know I've lost distance, just a matter of how much.

    I'm sure I can still play the tips, but probably won't be able to reach par 5's in 2 anymore - so that cuts my chances down a lot.

    Plan on playing more this year though

    Hit 'em straight!!

    It really is a high point. One can only imagine how life following that will seem like such a let down.

    I've heard this broken down into math, assuming the kids are all 2-3 years apart.

    1 kid is like 1 kid
    2 kids is like having at least 3
    3 kids is like having 5

    Something like that. I was never good at figuring out exponential growth.

    Reaching goals at a young age.......

    Kick the extra point and
    Play defence until the next
    Goal shows up.

    Think the best
    Expect the worst.

    In our case, 2 is more like 4... our daughter is a dream child, well behaved, cute, polite; so she = 1. Our son, the demon spawn, he = 3. We've requested round the clock prayers for a girl

    If it's another boy, our numbers will jump to 7, and that will be the death of me for sure, lol...
