What IS golf?

Question

What is golf to you?

Answer 1

Golf is a game that people either love or they can't stand. Sometimes both. There have been many times where I have said how much I love the game before my round and by the end, wish that I had an extra couple thousand dollars just so I could smash every one of the clubs in my bag.

Golfing, next to hitting a baseball is probably the hardest thing in sports to be good at. People will say that it takes the least amount of physical fitness of any of the major sports. However it just might take the MOST amount of mental toughness. It's just you out there, that's what makes it so awesome. You againsts yourself, against the course, against the rest of the field.

I've been playing for over 15 of my 25 years on this earth and there is nothing I love more.

Okay, now I'm about to get poetic on you. The smell of the freshly cut grass in the morning as the temperature reaches about 65 degress and they are calling you to the tee. The surreal looking green grass surrounding you and all that exists around you is a 7,000 yard sculpture that is the golf course. It's truly the game of the gods.

Answer 2

Going up in the early 80's Golf was going to my grandparents every Sunday and watching it on TV. It took me a long time to understand or even enjoy it. Funny thing is....In hind site the scoring is really not that had when you compare it to some of the point systems and rules of other sports. Golf now is still just something to watch on TV for me. I never enjoyed actually doing it. Tried it a couple of times. I think Tiger Woods and some of the other big names over the last decade have brought the game of Golf to new levels. Yes....I do enjoy watching it....Although I would never have guess that back in the 80's. - Mark

Golf is a simple game ! Aim , swing, walk , aim swing walk. The problem with golf is too many overcomplicate the game. Keep it simple and it will reward you with a lifetime of enjoyment. For all those about to dog my answer hear me out . The persuit of perfection (which will never be achieved) in golf leads to over compliccation by over analyzing every detail of the game. Who ever shot their lowest round while thinking of swing mechanics and tweaks? Thats right NOONE! The best golf is played by those with the least amount of thought processes. Start right with proper fundamentals and keep it simple and you'll love the game .

Answer 4

I agree with best answer golf is one of the hardest sports to play and master
It requires you to practice daily and needs a lot of mental and physical strength
Just because people don't run or make physical contact does not mean it's a sport I'm soo tired of hearing that reason
Also I use mizuno mp 69s which is a muscle back meaning you have HAVE to hit a small sweet spot in order to get it up
Do that consistently for 18 holes and let me see if you can still call golf not a sport
