Getting Hooked on Golf

October 22nd, 2009 | Author: Nikki

I never thought I wanted to play golf. It seemed dumb. It seemed expensive. It seemed like it didn’t take enough effort to count as exercise and enough challenge to count as sport. And of course, I couldn’t have been more wrong. It is great exercise, lots of fun, extremely challenging and fun to learn, gets you outside in beautiful settings and provides opportunities to spend time with good friends and family having a good time together. There is nothing like the feeling you get from hitting a ball well and watching it sail out towards the green. In my second game I hit a drive that went all the way to the green, though it landed in a bunker just to the left of the green. Then, I got it out of the green in one shot with my sand wedge and it went right in the hole! A birdie! I hadn’t even made par on a hole before that. I was hooked.
