Dan Conaway is in a lifelong relationship with his city. They fight, but they get back together. His new book – "In a Colorful Place" – is a collection of his columns and the columns of Otis Sanford. He can be reached at dconaway@dailymemphian.com.
For 114 years, longer than any other municipal golf course here, one golf course has introduced this city to the game, more than any other. Short and certainly sweet, first pars are found on this course, first birdies sing, and first eagles soar. And they come back for a lifetime.
