Every time we prepare for an approach shot, we all expect the ball to end up close to the pin. Unfortunately it doesn’t happen as often as we want, but the intention is always there. The challenge most of us have is not hitting from distance, online or just a miss. These challenges are universal to all amateur golfers and yet some seem to limit the error rate better than others. I wish I could swing my magic golf club and make all those challenges disappear. If I could do that, I’d wonder if I’d still want to play this magical game. Would you?
I am grateful for golf because it is a game against myself. Yes, there are times when competition changes my approach to my game. Mostly I like golf because I play against myself and no one else. I like the challenge of improving my game and scoring on a routine basis. Golf offers me the opportunity to be competitive without competition. There are a few other sports like this, but golf is the one I chose.
I enjoy playing golf with just my thoughts so I can enjoy the majesty of Mother Nature. I love the smell of freshly cut grass, the forest, the fresh air and the serene tranquility when I walk the trail alone. Communicating with nature has always been my favorite activity and golf certainly helps fuel this desire.
I also enjoy playing a round of golf with friends. The camaraderie is great and it helps me stay mindful. Chatting and joking with friends is always a great way to spend my time.
Finally, I love the other aspects of golf such as dedication to improvement, critical thinking and controlling my emotions. There are many other aspects of golf that are useful and I have only mentioned a few. The skills I learned on the golf course are transferable to real life and for that I am grateful.
I could go on, but I think you get what I mean. Golfing is more than just swinging a golf club. So much more! What do you like most about golfing?
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
