A round of golf from about 23 years ago that I didn't play. My grandpa had challenged me to a round and said that if he won I would promise to go to the University of Illinois and study engineering as he had done. If I were to win then I could go to the college of my choice to study whatever I wanted. He told me that he would pay for my education either way but this would make my decision a bit more fun. I just sort of laughed it off as something crazy he was saying to try and show me that he was a great golfer.

Was just in my basement and saw an old set of his clubs down there and it made me think of that. Never did play golf with him before he passed away about a year later. I wish that I had.
