People ask me.. Why of all things, this? And honestly, all I can think of is, Why not? The exhilaration derived from each shot is a whole new one with every swing taken.
What I love about this game?
The fresh air, the flow, movements and the challenge. I love the concentration involved, the technique of the game and what i love most is the immense satisfaction you can derive from just one good shot. Many who don't play would probably not understand and often call it either the "old man's game" or the "rich man's game".. seriously, you're so so very mistaken!
One good shot is akin to having a decadent piece of rich chocolate fudge cake, just without the calories and the sin! You feel your muscles pull and flex, you take your back swing, and at the highest point of your strength and momentum, you release it all. At that point of contact, you hear it, you feel it, it's when you're one with the club.. That sweet sweet sound and that satisfaction that overwhelms you.. You hit the sweet spot.. and there you have it.. "pung".. The small white ball flies to where ever you send it to. You finish and stand tall with a sense of pride and joy.
Just imagine, all that in just one shot. How amazing a game it is!
My New Swing. It's a right hand swing as opposed to my old left hand one. This one's much easier to master and perform each and every time. I love it!!!! All these, Thanks to Paul Tudor, my golf pro at the Orchid Country Club!
You're probably bored by all the technical things, oh well.. if you ever have the chance, go pick golf up and you tell me if you love it as much!
