It's not like I need it, I just want it. I've always been that way when it comes to PC hardware/components or power tools or any other sort of electronics. Totally! It's like this; "Yes Dear, You're right...I do have all of the golf (insert: clubs, balls, shoes, hats, putters, etc...) I need...I just don't have all of the golf (insert: clubs, balls, shoes, hats, putters, etc...)

revkev 22,604 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 10. It's a game for all ages 9. You meet lots of neat people 8. It's outdoors 7. It's an excuse to drink beer 6. 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. And the number one reason is..... 1. Mark Twain was wrong, it's not a good walk spoiled, it's a good walk turned into an adventure with life long memories waiting around every corner.

MDGolfHacker 7,019 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 There is no one thing that I can point to that makes me enjoy the game. I've met some great guys and gals, played some beautiful courses, gotten out on beautiful days and hit some memorable shots. I like that it's all up to you on how well you play or not play. I just enjoy the game all around. MDGolfHacker 1 Quote What's In This Lefty's Bag?

EthanSterlingPrice 1,301 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!

I won't even lie, years and years ago I hated it. I thought it was the most boring sport there was, before I ever gave it a chance.

perseveringgolfer 4,794 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. 2 Quote Driver Awaiting NEW Driver (after 10 yrs) 4 Wood Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead plus 4+ Callaway shaft in 'Firm' flex Hybrid Titleist 910H 19* Diamana ahina 'flower' shaft in 'S' Irons Mizuno MP18SC 4-PW N.S Pro Modus3 Tour 105 in 'S' Wedges Callaway Mack Daddy forged in black 50* and 54* KBS Tour in 'R' Putter 'YES' Tracy 11 C groove 34.5" Link to post Share on other sites
JoshAndersonGolf 2,684 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I love good for most of the reasons above. It bring you together with your friends and it also gives me the competition I enjoy. Most importantly though some of my best childhood memories are early Saturday mornings playing with my dad and his friends. I hope one day that my son & daughter have those same memories.

Golfspy_CG2 25,510 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Today was an example. I went out and played an impromptu 9 holes. Really struggled to hit anything consistently all dsy. Until the last hole and my last full shot into the green. Had a tucked pin just on top of the back tier. No way to pitch and run it. Had to fly it all the way back. So it was also the first chsnce to hit my brand new Jet Black SM7 lob wedge from about 60 yards. Made pure contact and stuck it two feet from the pin. But alas the Tour sauce was too much and brought it back down the slope. Even though i ended up 70 feet away. The feeling of hitting a golf shot like fhey are meant to be hit. Thats one reason I love this game.

ED13 295 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I enjoy playing by myself, with friends and family and now with my kids. The courses I enjoy the most give me a sense of solitude or allow my group to feel we are the only people around. Golf is one of the things I like to do in my limited spare time to just relax. Walking the course, looking at nature, chatting and joking with friends and family. What more can you want. 1 Quote Driver - Callaway Rogue Draw Woods - Callaway Rogue 5 wood Hybrid - Titleist TS2 21 degree Irons - Taylormade P790 5-PW Wedges - Ping Glide 2.0 52-56-60 Putter - Mizuno Black Carbon BC3 Link to post Share on other sites

deejaid 3,939 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I've never contemplated why I love golf or even if I love golf. Golf has been part of my life since my earliest memories, so to me, it's just always been a part of me, it's just something I'm attracted to because it is in me. My Grandfather, Father, and uncle all played. The farm my Grandparents bought after Grandpa returned from WW2 became our home “courseâ€. The barn was the “clubhouse†where all the old clubs lived and my first set was whatever clubs I could scrounge up in that barn. Sam Snead Blue Ridge, Spalding, Toney Penna, and many other 20-30 year old (this was the early 80's) inexpensive clubs with dry, cracked grips and a 5 gallon bucket of “experienced†balatas. I hit those balls out into the field, went and gathered them up, then did it again. Finally, after just going to the course with Grandpa, Uncle and Dad as a spectator, I was allowed to play. I then began playing with friends and realized it is enjoyable plying with different people, different skill levels, and different ages. Playing with someone, not against them, where the course is the opponent, thats what I really enjoy. Now, my daughter is learning the game. I can enjoy seeing her experience it for the first time. I can't think of really anything else than golf that can allow generations to compete together for a lifetime. That's why I love golf.

josmi15 1,732 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I picked it back up 5 years ago because I couldn't hit a softball anymore. I kept playing because of that feeling you get when you're home in 2 putting for birdie. It's a great feeling to walk 18 and just have the sun on your shoulders and the only care in the world is if you can nail your next shot Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Quote Titleist 917D2 10.5 Mizuno JPX EZ 3W, 14U Cobra Fly-Z Hybrid 18.5 Titleist 816 H1 23 PING G30 5-PW Cleveland RTX 3.0 50/10 V-MG Cleveland RTX 3.0 54/14 V-FG Cleveland RTX 3.0 58/12 V -FG EVNROLL ER-3 Link to post Share on other sites
