That title is probably over the top, but I was very good.
I have also received two lifetime bans from two golf courses.
First off, holy shit you were way better than I had anticipated getting your first hole-in-one around 9 or 10.
That's cool, that's sort of how I feel about this one instrument I play. As a joke, I auditioned with euphonium (an instrument I had never played before), because it was my senior year of high school and I thought it'd be funny. I practiced for two hours, went into the audition, and found out later that week that I got first chair in the band. Turns out that I had beat our a kid who played in a prestigious youth orchestra for my now university's music program. Which, mind you, is one of the best public music programs in the country.
I debated on continuing playing but then decided to pursue engineering. I ended up hating engineering and three years later realized that I could have actually played professionally.

It was a complete fluke. I wasn't getting par on holes consistently until I was around 14.

I wish there wasn't such an emphasis on this. I have been playing musical instruments since I was 5 or 6, and had no lessons at all. With kids, the lessons become a chore. Practicing with instruments becomes synonymous with doing their homework, because it's too structured. I would have never been interested in playing music at all if I didn't have the freedom to do what I wanted.

It's still impressive, nevertheless.
I've been playing instruments for like 12 years now but never was pressured. The music program I was talking about was at my university and he was just participating in one of their youth orchestras.

I do still play, but only very occasionally, maybe once or twice a year. When I was a kid, I never saw golfing as a thing I would want to do for a living. I was also way more interested in football. It only occurred to me that I could have had a shot at playing professionally when I was about nineteen, and by that point I wasn't willing to go back and put all the work in again.
My fondest memory is probably my first hole in one. I was about nine or ten and got the ball onto the green on a par 3, and when I got there I couldn't find the ball, so I just dropped one and finished the hole. When I went to get it out of the hole, my first ball was in there too.
