TSauer Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 We're all here for one reason, but why? I'm sure everyone has hated golf at some point, whether that be before you took the up the sport or after you got hooked... but we've all been there. The crazy thing is, we always come back to it. Personally, the reasons why I love the game of golf are endless. The camaraderie, the outdoors, the challenges, playing new courses, the list goes on and on. So, why do you love it?

Miboy62 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I like golf because it's a stress reliever for me. Never get to up or down, and any day golfing is better then working.

kardboard.kid Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Golf is like a really good addiction. That long putt you sink"like Tiger" or that incredible drive that seems to go forever. Your first birdie, or eagle, or hole-in-one. How about beautiful nature, good drink and friends. Well that is just the tip of the iceberg for me. sent from planet Nebulon F7+ w/Fujikura Pro XLR8 Graphite Shaft 3-I MPF H-Series3B2M graphite Shaft w/Winn Dri-Tac grip mid STi Irons 5-SW KURO KAGE 70IR Flex-R Lamkin Grips King F6 Hybrid Matrix Red Tie HQ4 Graphite Shaft Forged FGT 60* wedge KURO KAGE 70R SS cross Comfort grip O-Putter 1W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper554 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I love golf because there is no timetable. I can play whenever I want, with whoever I want. The game is never the same, be it course, weather or how you feel on that particular day. You are always in search of the day when it all comes together. I also love the social aspect of the game as well, I have met and played with some fantastic folks. Like the folks on this site golfers are generally good to hangout with.

tony@CIC Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I love it not only for the reasons above like the friendship and challenges but also gives me the opportunity to disconnect from the endless news cycle for several hours.

PING Apologist #9 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Good subject TSauer. There are endless facets to this game I like a lot; The tradition, the challenge of every shot-even on a course you've played many times, the quiet, the camaraderie, the nature, and of course the beer..! My most favorite? The gear of course. I am a hopeless gear junkie for all hobbies or sports I've ever taken up. From baseball, to skiing, bowling, competition shooting, fly fishing and now golf, I gotta have the best gear I can get, or so my ADD brain tells me. As long as I am satisfied that I have the best gear possible, then I cannot ever use it as a scapegoat for any personal performance deficits. I've always rolled this way. Na, forget about all that... Heh, it's really "All about the shooz!" But more on that later in my pending "Shoe HO's Anonymous" thread....

ole gray Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I've played sports all my life and took up golf later in life. It's the only sport I can physically perform now days and being outdoors is a must for me. I've made a ton of great friends through golf, the challenge of the game is addicting, and although I'm a hacker, I love heading out for another round.

yungkory Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 For me, it's all about family memories. I took it for granted when I was young, but since I started playing after my 10+ year hiatus, I've come to appreciate all the time they spent teaching me the game. Also, the green fees they spent holy moly! I've said it before on these boards, but if you play with one of your loved ones -- cherish that! Forget about how your round is going and just be thankful you're able to get out there and play with them.

Buying new equipment is fun 5. Getting free new equipment to test is funner! 4. It's challenging 3. It's why I've met all of you 2. It's something to look forward to.

EthanSterlingPrice Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 To be completely honest I kinda disliked golf till I started it, not hated but I didn't want anything to do with it. I got started in it after we began homeschooling me in junior high to have something to do and began to take an interest. A lot like everyone else there's a long list of things I like about it and a few I dislike but if I had to name a few I'd say there are people I really enjoy playing with, the accomplishment you feel when you pull off a shot, and very high on my list is the competition, I might be slightly addicted to competition... just a bit... and obviously getting to interact with everyone here on the site!

perseveringgolfer Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I love the challenge! Everytime you tee it up you could have your career best (or worst) but beating and lowering your handicap and striking the ball like a pro (sometimes) is such a great feeling. Fresh air, beautiful surroundings and exercise along with decent company is just fantastic. Playing early morning or a few holes in summer just before sunset is magical, no other word for it.
