The best golf feeling? Joaquin Niemann gave a great answer

Bolingbrook, ill. – Liv Golf is puffing, this week stop in Chicagoland for his 12th event of the season. Just like last year, there is already an overwhelming favorite for the seasonal hose crown, thanks to Joaquin Niemann’s five victories in 11 starts.

Win so much and you get one or two press conference, but Niemann does not really like to go deep about his form or what he has to do in a specific every week. However, he gave a fantastic answer to a very simple question:

Why do you like golf?

Niemann was somewhat surprised. “Why do I think it’s great? I mean, it’s just all,” he said.

Golf of course means just about everything in his life, but for Niemann it seems that what he likes most is the positive output that follow a long line of specific inputs. It can be literal results on a score card, or more theoretical properties that have been developed over time.

“When I play badly, I have the feeling that I find out that I enjoy it in a certain way, because I know that when I’m not at my best or have a tough week, I know there is something to learn,” Niemann said Wednesday. “And I feel that it just builds a character from you, this game is playing. I feel it gives you a lot of values that will help you in every situation you have for your life.

“In this game you will probably feel uncomfortable 90 percent of the time, and to trust yourself and to have that dedication to know that what you do is good and to bind it in a situation that is really uncomfortable – I feel that it really talks about yourself.

It is reassuringly knowing that even a 5-way winner this year should be improved in self-love. Most golfers do that.

“Yes, too, if you play your best game and your best wave, it is also very nice,” he continued. “You can take the photos you see. I really like to play with the processes and see it first in my head and then go there and give the shot. When it is the same shot that I have seen before, I don’t think there is something more satisfactory than that feeling.”

There is nothing more relatible in this sport than that – make a shot, propose the path to a target and then pull it out. The cancelleness with which it all works means that you are all the more jubilant if it actually does. Even for a world beater like Niemann.

I had to ask the likely individual champion of LIV if he believes that rejoicing as we do. Of course he has different standards and expectations than the rest of us, but often follows that little white ball the path he wants?

“Not too often,” he said with a smile. “I think that is why it is really satisfying. You can clearly become picky, and I feel that it is the goal. I have the feeling that if I can go outside on the track and say that I will touch a draw to the green. You are going to touch a draw and touch it. I try to do it.

Niemann seemed to transport himself while he described his favorite feelings on the course; He was only in the front and in the middle of the room, broadcast lights that illuminated the background, but it felt like he was in the fairway. He looked away in the distance, moved in his chair, raised his right hand and began to catch imaginary goals with imaginary processes.

“Yes, I want to see it start with that tree or the cloud that I see going there in the air – that window that I see – go down where I want to see it coming down and assess the wind that it will affect the same amount of curve that I see in my head.

“There are so many factors and then countries in the same place as I want. I feel that you will never touch that shot, but almost tries to chase that shot.”

The endless chase, stimulated by a few, volatile moments to actually catch what you are looking. Golf at its best.
