Golf should be beautiful and fun, sadly for many it's neither.Patricia Hanniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13221547585113488764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895147021396916151.post-15322656300328987532009-09-21T09:12:15.437-04:002009-09-21T09:12:15.437-04:00Well said.

Besides, my little goal is really a good excuse to play as often as I can.<br /><br />However, I do not have fun when I play with someone who whines and complains the entire round. During my worst rounds I laugh, sing, cheer, and usually dance. <br /><br />Some think I'm a bit crazy on the course, but I certainly don't think anyone would say I don't have fun. It is definitely possible to be competitive and have fun at the same time!<br /><br />BTW, sunset rounds are the best time to catch wildlife.

I usually reply, "It's 2-4 hours spent in beautiful surroundings, with people you like, getting some gentle exercise... and no one can get to you. If you hear a cell phone go off on a golf course, you know that person doesn't understand golf."<br /><br />Invariably they look at me for a minute, then smile and say, "I can understand that."<br /><br />In our rush to improve, sometimes we lose track of the real reasons we love the game. You hit the nail right on the head.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11719298227225074496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1895147021396916151.post-79351175889067243252009-09-20T02:32:07.423-04:002009-09-20T02:32:07.423-04:00I rarely throw my clubs - typically I laugh-off a ...I rarely throw my clubs - typically I laugh-off a bad shot (so I'm usually laughing my a@@ off the whole round). But a few rounds ago I pulled one OB with my driver and fired the club off the tee-box. Needless to say, I broke the shaft. I agree, you shouldn't get too angry with yourself on the course - especially when it can cost you money. Ironically though, it forced me to use my hybrid off the tee for the last couple rounds and my play has actually improved somewhat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
