It is spring 2001 in the backyard of Shreveport residents Todd and Beth Burns.
At the behest of his insistent mother, 12-year old Chase Burns is teaching his 4-year old brother Sam how to hit a golf ball.
Chase hands little Sam an 8-iron from Sam's new set of junior clubs that Santa brought for Christmas. He drops a ball on the ground in front of Sam and advises, "Keep your left arm straight."
Sam grips the club and settles in his stance. Chase is waiting for his little brother to take a mighty swing and miss everything.
