5 Things You Wish Someone Told You About Golf

šŸ“ŒIf 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.

šŸšØ Here are 5 things every golfer learns the hard wayā€”what would you add to the list?

1ļøāƒ£ Itā€™s Addictiveā€”and Frustrating

ā€¢ You start off just trying the game.

ā€¢ Then youā€™re buying a new driver, booking lessons, and debating putter grips at 2 AM.

ā€¢ Every bad round makes you want to quitā€”until you hit that one perfect shot.

šŸšØ Reality Check: Golf hooks you for life, even when it makes you miserable.

2ļøāƒ£ The Better You Get, the Less Fun It Is

ā€¢ As a beginner, every shot is a surprise.

ā€¢ As you improve, you expect perfectionā€”and golf loves to disappoint.

ā€¢ When you start caring about your handicap, suddenly golf feels like work.

šŸšØ Reality Check: The pursuit of getting better ruins the ā€œjust have funā€ phase.

3ļøāƒ£ 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 youā€™ll buy cheaper balls next timeā€”but you never do.

šŸšØ Reality Check: Youā€™re not losing ballsā€”youā€™re making donations to the golf gods.

4ļøāƒ£ Everyoneā€™s a Coachā€”Even When Theyā€™re Worse Than You

ā€¢ That guy who shoots 105? He has swing advice for you.

ā€¢ Your buddy who slices every drive? Heā€™ll explain why youā€™re hooking it.

ā€¢ You didnā€™t ask for tipsā€”but theyā€™re coming anyway.

šŸšØ Reality Check: The worse someone plays, the more advice they give.

5ļøāƒ£ 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.

ā€¢ Now, instead of quitting, you book another round.

šŸšØ Reality Check: Golf knows how to keep you coming back.
