Overview
David G. Lavender has the second-highest handicap among members of the Northfield, MN Golf Club; this dismal circumstance reflects his lifelong lack of ability on the links. After working in development (fund raising) for several colleges and universities, he founded a successful consulting firm that specialized in institutional advancement and board management for many types of charitable organizations. He retired in 1998 to pursue a career on the Champions Tour. When that effort failed, he began running a nationwide fantasy golf league. "Fantasy Golf" uses whimsy, satire, and black humor to comment on his confusion and bewilderment over the illogical societal changes and many whacko events that have become an integral part of the American way of life. The messages appearing here are drawn from his fantasy league's weekly reports.Synopsis
