If i could only get him out on the golf course with me.
If he starts now, he's gonna have quite the officiating carreer.

My situation is the exact opposite. I started reffing first and dragged my dad into it. It's great because we always work together, so we've developed a sort of style (good communication, mechanics, and we're really comfortable working together). Its great to finally be able to find something that my dad and I can do together.
