Hey MSG,
Golf and I have had an off/on relationship for better than 35 years now.
In my teens I would sneak on a local track with a putter and a 9 iron for a couple of holes, it was a so much fun but when I tried “real” golf I hated it. There were too many rules. Too many things to think about. It was no fun.
In my late 20s a buddy gave me a couple of pointers and I hit one of those absolute perfect drives. And I was hooked. I needed to hit that shot again. I was able to get down to a 4 but unfortunately, a rather serious car accident meant I was unable to golf for several years.
I picked it backup in my 40s. I have struggled with the lost distance and have had to learn how to work myself around the golf course. But I have gotten less score focused in the last year which has helped bring the scores down. I am now sitting at a 9 handicap. And my goal for next year is to try to find the joy that I had sneaking around all those years ago.
