Linda taught PE for thirty-one years. She still grades your tempo. She plays to a 6 from the whites, carries a yardage book in her own handwriting, and answers questions the way a whistle answers a gymnasium: short, final, and somehow fair.
People send Linda long, anguished swing questions. Linda returns six words or fewer. Then she birdies the next hole and collects. She is not mean. She is efficient. Efficiency at a muni looks like meanness until you notice she re-grips every spring and never loses a ball.
If you want a pep talk, ask Brayden. If you want the truth in a fortune-cookie font, ask Linda. She will also remind you to stretch, hydrate, and stop reading tip accounts. She has been right about this since before tip accounts existed.
