Why On Earth Do We Play Golf?
So, why do we play golf? To me, I can answer that very easily. The only thing is that I can go on and on explaining why it’s the greatest game in the world.
We can all go out and play a sport against the very best professionals in the world regardless of our size, age, experience and talent, but 100 times out of 100 we would get absolutely anialated! Take football (soccer) for example. Ronaldinho would not give you a touch. Rugby, boxing or American Football would literally kill you! Cricket, you would be out for a duck, tennis would be pointless and Grand Prix, you’d get lapped many many times.
But Golf. You could (in theory) phone Tiger Woods up, meet him down at the local golf course and with your handicap you could actually beat him!
How cool is that?
Answer: VERY. It’s the whole handicap system that makes it the totally unique game that it is. Fair enough, if we all teed off from scratch then you’d get beat, but having a handicap is the RULE. So apart from beating the best player in the world, the game is very simple. And very addictive and satisfying. There are thousands and thousands of courses in the world, every single one is different with it’s own hazards that challenges all that play.
But as simple as the nature of the game is to get that little ball into the whole in as few shots as possible, there is a whole world of knowledge that can be learned about how to play better golf. How to drive off the tee, How to hit a fairway shot, from the rough, from the bunker and how to putt. And it’s those tips and lessons that are continuing to be taught to everyone from the amateur to the top professionals.
