My dad taught me to play tennis when I was in eighth grade, and was my personal coach all through high school. His teaching style was all his own; to develop my net game, he stood me at the net and hit balls at me as fast and as hard as he could. Oh, but it worked! Throughout my college career, I had some of the quickest, softest hands on the team. My dad is also an avid golfer. He learned to play from my grandfather when he was my age. He stopped playing for many years, but picked it up again when my parents moved to southern Maryland. He has now, I believe, a 3 or 4 handicap. Consider also that my dad played amateur ice hockey when he was my age, and you can easily see where I got my athleticism.
Interestingly, my mom was born in Michigan, where I now live. Of further interest, I have ancestors on my mom's side of the family who helped till the first fields in what is now Terre Haute, IN, where I attended college.
