Junior Golf becomes Senior Golf

Reading a comment online this last week, Scott Verplank said of the golf course for the US Senior Mens' Open, "Everyone will really like the renovation of Oak Tree National"  As a former Oklahoma State Cowboy, he's played there many a time and certainly would know.

I've never met Scott but when I was a junior golfer in Austin, he was the #1 junior player in Texas in the early 80s.  He of course got a scholarship to play at Oklahoma State which is the Duke of men's golf, having won multiple championships.  He then went on to a long and successful career on the PGA Tour and is now continuing at age 50+ on the Senior Tour.

So to think that a junior golfer is now a senior golfer is quite a jump.  Like seeing that a Playmate is younger than you, it makes you appreciate time passing.
