Henry Pembroke had joined the country club primarily for business, but his sixteen-year-old daughter’s trying out for her high school golf team rekindled his interest in the sport.

He read the golf instruction books, watched a few videos, and even took a lesson with the club pro, Vic Rudd.

“You’ve got the body for it,” Vic told Henry after watching him hit a few balls, “but you’re too stiff. You’re thinking instead of doing. A golf swing’s got to be fluid—natural, not herky-jerky.” Vic took the five iron from Henry’s hands and effortlessly smacked the ball high and far, straight and true.
