Wish Nick Happy Birthday!

The Happy Golf is just full of news on the East Coast, and it’s his 73rd birthday today!

Friday marked the halfway point, in terms of distance, in his adventure. He’s was the farthest from California that he will be. Maine is his 28th state; he has driven 6,810 miles, played 58 rounds – he is even playing on his “days off.” The last three courses had him camp out in their parking lots, thanks to gracious pros, so he could get off and running with an early tee time.

Nick will be interviewed for the York Weekly publication in New Hampshire on Mother’s Day. We’ll post a link if the story is available online.

Send your Happy Birthday wishes to The Happy Golfer in the comments section below, and keep happy!

Happy B-day. Inspirational. Good luck. Please post a bit about your RV, camping areas, logistics. How did you pick the specific courses and the route? I live in Virginia. Best to you and your family. (I hope AARP picks up your venture.)

Happy Birthday! We didn’t realize that when you stopped at the Plaza in N. Hampton, NH yesterday to have your picture taken with all the lovely ladies in the 36 foot Escalade limousine that you were celebrating a birthday. We were celebrating a birthday, too.
Good luck on your venture.

Happy (belated) Birthday. Playing all that golf has got to be a real grind. But I knew that you could do it if anyone could. Let’s have dinner again later this summer with you AND FRAN this time. Keep ’em long and straight. Greg

Hey Nick, looks like all is going well, Happy Belated Birthday! Was wondering which day in the Chicago area you’d like some company on the course?

Happy b-day Nick! I’ve been following your progress and I am envious! I hope to be happily golfing at age 73 also. Have you had the chance to golf your age yet? Hope it happens for you!

Good luck – play and stay well!
