Griz Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 This is not a bashing...Just a question... So don't even go there... I personally do not play the game. So I am just trying to understand and I thought what a better place to ask... I'm wanting to know what golfing means to you. What makes this game so fun and relaxing... I had a guy the other day tell me that it was relaxing... Now then, here's what I said... How can this game be relaxing. Your in the heat hitting a little ball all over the place,carrying bag with a bunch of clubs in it, that are covered up with socks, then you have to go and find it so you can wack it again... I have seen people get so upset because the ball didn't do exactly what they wanted it to and when this happens they start choaking the golf club and calling it names or yelling at the ball... Do these items understand this. What, if the ball doesn't do good or if it's the clubs at fault. I have watched people rareback and throw these things as far as they can and then stand there calling it stupid and a few other choice names... And another thing... What is a par? I always thought it was something that came from a tree... What is a birdy... I know I have hunted a few of these in my time... So if you would. Tell me why golfing is so much fun. Why do people say that it is relaxing... Griz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preacherman Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Re: Hey Golfers! I Have A Question For Ya.... Hey Griz, let the preacherman be the first to confess his faults to a brother! I play golf and enjoy doing so.........sometimes it is relaxing just to get out of the office and away from everything else.........but 99% of the time the reason I play golf is for the fellowship. I play with some close friends of mine and it is just about being together. It is a time that we spend at least four hours together shooting the bull and having a little fun. And that is what Golf is all about to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Re: Hey Golfers! I Have A Question For Ya.... I agree. I enjoy spending time with my son, family and friends golfing just like I do hunting with them. It's something I can do with my 63 year old Dad and 12 year old son at the same time. I do not play with people who act like immature idiots on the course. There's no place for that. Golf, to me, is the most challenging sport I've ever tried to master. Basketball, baseball, football all came easy and naturally to me. I like that challenge just like I do trying to harvest a mature whitetail buck.

Muff Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Re: Hey Golfers! I Have A Question For Ya.... Well I also have to say the fellowship of spending time with your buddies...also great exercise to walk 18 holes. BUT the one thing that keeps every golfer comming back is THAT ONE GOOD SHOT! Mostly every round has one, it might be a great long putt or a great drive or maybe you make a chip in from off the green.What ever it is about that shot it makes you come back again and try to do better. Thats the best way I can explain that game of golf to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitteken Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Re: Hey Golfers! I Have A Question For Ya.... I like golf for the same reason I like to shoot bows. Mainly it is a game of precision. You have to hone your skills in order to improve your game. By making small adjustments you can get big improvements. And its also a social thing. Its a blast to go out and play with a few buddies, have a couple beers, and place some friendly bets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Re: Hey Golfers! I Have A Question For Ya.... I don't golf much anymore, but I used to all the time. I always liked it for the challenge. It is a very challenging sport. Relaxation was not my main reason for playing. To me it's relaxing because you're outside and sometimes you can play at your own pace, you know, take your time if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 Re: Hey Golfers! I Have A Question For Ya.... To me, golf is relaxing in the same way the a 3-D tourney is. I'm outside, spending time with my friends playing a sport where I don't have to run... Oh, and the beer, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Hey Golfers! I Have A Question For Ya.... I love the challenge. Like Finn said... it's the hardest sport I've ever tried to do. My boss plays golf and will take me out to play from time to time. I love getting out of the office to go play a round of golf! Sure beats work! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Re: Hey Golfers! I Have A Question For Ya.... Its a way to get out and enjoy the outdoors because with some of the courses in my area the links are tucked into the woods and you get to see lots of wildlife. Its just the joy of getting out there and relaxing, hitting a little white ball and forgetting all of life's other troubles. Sure you see the golfers smacking their club into the ground and tossing out curse words but those people have other issues in their life and golf to me is suppose to be about having fun for 2 to 3 hours at a time. Maybe its the challenge, maybe its being with your buddies, or maybe its staring at the cart girl..... whatever it is I urge those of you that don't to at least try it once with your friends, you won't be disappointed.
