šIf Only We Knew Before We Startedā¦
Golf looks easy on TV. It seems relaxing, social, and rewarding.
But the moment you pick up a club, reality hits.
šØ Here are 5 things every golfer learns the hard wayāwhat would you add to the list?
1ļøā£ Itās Addictiveāand Frustrating
ā¢ You start off just trying the game.
ā¢ Then youāre buying a new driver, booking lessons, and debating putter grips at 2 AM.
ā¢ Every bad round makes you want to quitāuntil you hit that one perfect shot.
šØ Reality Check: Golf hooks you for life, even when it makes you miserable.
2ļøā£ The Better You Get, the Less Fun It Is
ā¢ As a beginner, every shot is a surprise.
ā¢ As you improve, you expect perfectionāand golf loves to disappoint.
ā¢ When you start caring about your handicap, suddenly golf feels like work.
šØ Reality Check: The pursuit of getting better ruins the ājust have funā phase.
3ļøā£ Golf Balls Are Basically Disposable Income
ā¢ You start with a dozen shiny new balls.
ā¢ By the 4th hole, half of them are gone.
ā¢ You swear youāll buy cheaper balls next timeābut you never do.
šØ Reality Check: Youāre not losing ballsāyouāre making donations to the golf gods.
4ļøā£ Everyoneās a CoachāEven When Theyāre Worse Than You
ā¢ That guy who shoots 105? He has swing advice for you.
ā¢ Your buddy who slices every drive? Heāll explain why youāre hooking it.
ā¢ You didnāt ask for tipsābut theyāre coming anyway.
šØ Reality Check: The worse someone plays, the more advice they give.
5ļøā£ Your Best Drive Will Always Be on the Last Hole
ā¢ All round long, you struggled.
ā¢ Then, on hole 18, you hit the best drive of your life.
