How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I grew up playing golf. My first memory was hitting balls with my Dad at local driving range in elementary school. I remember going to my neighbors garage with my father and them cutting down a few older irons they had laying around, that was my first set. Its been over 20 years now and I typically shoot in the low 80's.
What do you love about golf? Being outside in nature with the trees, water, sand and grass feels like home. I believe John Muir said it best, "Everybody needs beauty and well as bread, places to play in and places to pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to the body and soul." I love the games camaraderie, challenge, humility and excitement. I love how you can feel that all is right in the world with that perfect shot and with a perfect shank. Its a game of seconds added up to only a few actual playing minutes yet each round seems as if a lifetime of mental gymnastics was learned or forgot.
