Golf comes naturally for some, but for others, they marry into it! Unbeknownst to Janet Thompson as she was walking down the aisle, her husband-to-be was a die-hard golfer. Not necessarily wanting to be the quintessential "golf widow" after the honeymoon, Janet headed for the fairway. (Although, for her, it was more like the rough.)
Janet lives with her husband, Steve, in Florida and New Hampshire. The pair enjoy golfing, hiking, biking, and spending time with their five young grandchildren. In the summers, Janet volunteers her time for the Gundalow Company, sailing with school-age children on the Piscataqua River in a replica of a boat launched in 1886.
Janet believes, "When taking up golf, a sense of humor and the ability to bend a few rules helps!" Had she read a book like this before she started playing the game, it would have made a difference in her love/hate relationship with golf.
