Golf Is A Game

If you forget this you will never enjoy it. In fact, it may ruin your life. I got my neighbor interested in playing golf. It wasn't long until he was taking off work, neglecting his family and spending all of his time on the golf course. Fortunately, I was able to talk with him and get him to see what was happening before it was too late.

A game is something you do as a diversion. It is not your life. It is not what you live for. It is not the most important thing in the world to you. It is not the only thing you ever think about.

Games are for having fun, relaxing, having a good time. If you take the game too seriously, you will only get frustrated and quit. There goes all that money you spent on clubs! Take it easy and see what you can do. Don't worry if you're not as good as Tiger Woods. Who is?

Forgetting that your playing a game may cause you to lose the friendship of your golfing buddies. You will start telling them to be quiet and stand still. You will argue about every little thing. You will be more concerned about your score than how you're treating your friends.

Learning that playing golf is just a game will give you many days of enjoyment for a long time. Take in the beautiful views that you will find at most golf courses. Wait for the excitement of making that long putt. Smile when you hit the green with your 4 iron. Who knows you might be lucky enough to get a hole in one!

Golf is a game. Play it for better living!
