I can remember when, as a beginner, I was delighted with any ball as long as it would bounce.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The first sport I played was baseball. I remember being on the Little League team and someone pitching the ball to me for the first time. I was ready to no longer hit the ball off the tee, and an adult pitched it to me underhand.
I was the kid who always liked to take the ball down to the school even in my free time, kick it against the wall, juggle it in the front yard and so it was kind of a perpetual state of playing soccer for me.
Football became my life at five or six. The earliest memory I have is of playing in my first boots, a pair of black and white Alan Balls. It was 1970, four years after the World Cup, and I scored three goals at school.
I started playing golf at about four years old.
The earliest golfing memories that I have are of the Italian Open when I was about six years of age. Watching that event is how I really got started in the game.
For all the fun, don't forget: I always knew when to put my golf balls down and practice.
I started playing ball when I was a kid. My dad was a pro ball player and he passed on his knowledge to me.
When I was 22, I was having a ball!
A boy cannot begin playing ball too early. I might almost say that while he is still creeping on all fours he should have a bouncing rubber ball.
I played a lot of other sports at school and just one day the golf bug bit me and I started playing serious golf from when I was ten years old.
