The game of golf is supposed to be fun. We keep playing golf because we love it so much. So why do we beat ourselves up right before we start playing? Have you ever felt like you had a lot of bad feelings before a round of golf?
"I played golf again today, and my back is killing me." Why would you even want to play golf if it hurt? Why did they even think about golfing when their backs hurt? I'll tell you why. All because they love golf!
"I have to get through this 18 with as little pain as possible." Why not just play nine holes instead of eighteen? I'll tell you why. All because they love golf!
"I'm not sure how much more my mind can take. When nothing seems to be going right, it's hard on the mind." Why bother picking up a golf club if your mind is all mixed up? I'll tell you why. All because they love golf!
"I hope this round won't be as rough as the last one," he said. Why not take a day off from golf and meditate when things aren't going well? I'll tell you why. All because they love golf!
"I think I'll stop playing golf after 18 holes if I don't hit the fairway from the first tee box." Why stop when you're eighteen when the first shot might be enough to make you stop? I'll tell you why. All because they love golf!
"If I don't make par on the first hole, I'm not going to keep score for the rest of the round." If your temper is that bad, why do you even need to keep a scorecard? I'll tell you why. All because they love golf!
"The first time my ball goes into a water hazard, my golf clubs will go in with it." Play with rentals to help yourself out. Why? All because they love golf!
"I shouldn't miss any greens by three putts today. If I do that, I'll break my putter on the first green with three putts." Do yourself a favour and get something for two people. Why? All because they love golf!
"If I build a snowman today, Frosty will never see winter." Don't play golf with someone whose name is Frosty. Why? All because they love golf!
Booking a tee time ahead of time will help you avoid some of these bad feelings and keep your mind on a good level. Why? All because they love golf!
