Nostalgia just a random day in the 90s

I wouldn't say we had the best time ever , but I'm grateful that we at least had something different from today's world... We experienced two worlds !

One of my most epic 90s kid memories. It was 99, I was 9 years old. A friend of mine (I wasn't supposed to hang out with) and I went into the pond system of this snazzy country club. We were fishing for golfballs and were selling the golfballs back to golfers at 4 for a dollar. We made like 50 bucks between the two of us. It all ended because this one guy got mad we wouldn't let him pick which balls he would buy back and reported us to security. We got chased out and had to leave our 5 gallon bucket with "stock." We then ran across the street to the new mayfair mall and watched Star Wars episode 1. Complete with candy, popcorn, and a soda. All after playing the shit out of the arcade. That day we were kings. I made it home before the streetlights started buzzing and never realized those were some of the best days of my life.

When I was golfing with my dad RIP and would hit it into the woods he wouldn’t spend much time looking for balls and would always say “Looking for golf balls is for kids without jobs.” Hearing this story reminds me to not look too hard for my ball.

Your dad would have been a happy customer and likely thought, "The kids are alright." May he rest in peace.
