The Curmudgeon

The Curmudgeon is not one of my golf buddies, but he is my "Yoda", the wise master of the Force and teacher of Jedi. He also is affectionately known as the "Dalai Lama of Dirt". The Curmudgeon is a corner office partner, meaning that he is all-knowing and all-powerful and is able to make his other partners and associates cringe with a withering look of disapproval. The Curmudgeon knows more useful and useless information than anyone that I have ever met. The Curmudgeon is one of the leading planned community and private golf club attorneys in the country, which if he played golf could be one of the coolest jobs around. His clients use golf architect superstars like Jack Nicklaus and Tom Fazio to build gorgeous private golf courses in Arizona, New Mexico, Hawaii, Scotland, etc. The Curmudgeon used to play golf reasonably well, but as he has gotten older and more, let us say, well-rounded and infirmed, his golf game deteriorated to the point where he is one step above Charles Barkley. It has gotten so bad that the Curmudgeon now enjoys watching tennis! The Curmudgeon is surreptitiously reading my blog and fact checking and pointing out each grammatical and typographical error, but I have actually caught him smiling and chuckling one or two times. The Curmudgeon will be a recurring character in this blog and you will come to love him over time.
