And, when you did outdo them, that was the end of that relationship, even with fathers.

My father took me fishing with him and a buddy and his son. My dad didn't have sons. Anyway, I caught the biggest fish that day. He never took me fishing again.

When I went off to college, I took golf as my PE requirement because I wanted to do something over which I could bond with my dad. I was so proud to tell him I scored an 85 on my final exam, which was playing the game. Not only did he never play golf with me, he stopped playing and got rid of his clubs. He took it up again when my nephew was old enough to play.
