"Steve is my husband of only 3 years. We lived on a Golf course in San Diego and played the game Horse on the putting green 2-3 nights a week. He helped me to feel comfortable and confident about what to do on a golf course. I was so nervous always. Now everything is fun. It’s only a game and Steve has shown me not to take it to seriously.
