There are many instructional books about golf. There are many
inspirational books about golf. I have not added to this mess. I
have tried to address the vast majority of golfers, the mediocre
players that continue to play lousy golf despite all the efforts to
instruct and inspire them. There is no attempt to add new
techniques or thoughts that will elevate the lousy golfer to the
sparse ranks of the accomplished golfer. There is an effort to make
golf a little more fun and the nineteenth hole a more significant
part of the game. I couldn't pass up poking a little fun at a lot
of others as well. I know little about playing accomplished golf.
Few do. I do know how to play lousy golf. Professional golf is a
sport and it's played by talented athletes just like any other
sport. Other professional sports depend on paying spectators, many
of which have never even played the game. Golf may have spectators,
but mostly it's got a bunch of hackers buying expensive equipment
and paying green fees to maintain the courses for those few that
actually know how to play golf. There is absolutely nothing wrong
with this. It's just the nature of the game. It's been that way for
hundreds of years and I expect it will go on for hundreds more.
Through some warped sense of logic I've come to believe it takes a
lousy golfer to inspire pathetic golfers. Good golfers know little
about playing lousy golf. Most folks just don't know what to do
with the advice they give. Golf's frustrating enough as it is.
Golfers are constantly bombarded by game improvement gizmos and
instructional material to improve their game. The goal is to reach
your potential. I don't think there has ever been a golfer that
thought they had reached their potential. It's a disease. The cure
would be constant improvement. Maybe it's time to work on the
symptoms; those sinking feelings after your usual lousy score, or
the trauma of returning to normal after one of those rare
exceptional rounds. Golf's a good game, really. Learn to enjoy it.
Golf life can be good for the lousy golfer. You get to remember the
feel and sight of a well struck ball. The accomplished golfer only
gets to remember those that aren't stuck well. You can celebrate at
the nineteenth hole remembering the few highlights of your golf
round. The good golfers just get to cry in their beer over the few
lost strokes that shouldn't have been. Best of all, the lousy
golfer gets to win just as many matches as the good golfer. Golf
has handicaps. It's a strange thing. You can win on the score card
while getting your clock cleaned on the course. I guess that's just
the concession the good folks had to make so they'd have somewhere
to play. It's no wonder they stick to themselves.
