Hope this isn't par for the course :-))


You know, I guess what really irritates me about the golf instructors
is that they seen to think I should care that they are a better golfer
than I am. Yes, I acknowledge they are super God's of golf, yes, I
acknowledge that I'm a hacker who just wants to walk around on the
grass on a Sunday morning. But so what? I could see if someone said
they were a better brain surgeon than I am (if I was), that would be
impressive, but its just damn golf.
Its the same with flying. Sure, some guys can dust crops and fly under
wires and then land on a 400 foot field(I've done some of that) but
who cares? If all my student wants in aviation is to go out and fly
patterns for an hour on Sunday morning, there isn't anything wrong
with that. Besides, he's probably a better brain surgeon than I am.
