What is Acceleration?

I don’t know if you ever played golf? My first adventure into the manicured green fairways was at age twelve. We lived just off the course outside the town where I grew up. Until this time in my life, the golf course was the path between my house and the swimming pool. I enjoyed swimming and was fair enough to make the junior swim league and even win a few heats.
My dad and mom played golf but started later in their life – later to a twelve-year-old.

During the summer of my twelfth year, something clicked inside of me and I lost interest in swimming and my gaze became focused on the golf course. I started noticing the way the course was kept more like a garden, than a pasture that had been my bike path. I started watching the better golfers and wondering what it would be like to play.
