ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — The first golf lesson Davis Love Jr. gave to his son was to swing hard and keep his feet on the ground.
Davis Love III passed that down to his own son, using different equipment.
"We had this little ball that he had to pull out of that big basket that was always at the grocery store," Love III said Tuesday. "I would roll it to him and he would hit while it was rolling. Once he did it four or five times, we both got in trouble with (wife) Robin. But once I saw him do it, I said, 'There is no better way to get hand-eye coordination and free up your swing.
