To Golf Or Not To Golf That Is The Question

An old Scotsman once said to me “golf is not a sport its a disease”.   A terrible affliction that keeps good men and women from what they should be doing, and running round after a wee ball.

He may have been right. You have to be up particularly early  in  the  morning , to get a nice clear run on any good golf course. The air at that time of day tends to be especially clear and fresh.  You may encounter beautiful clear blue skies, and pesky birds of all shapes and sizes.  Its quite possible your fitness strength and balance will improve.  It may just put you in a good mood for the rest of the day.

Your golfing affliction also has the propensity to get you sharing time with old friends and meeting new ones. Getting a fair bit of unintended exercise without even trying, and acquiring what on a good day is a very  graceful  talent.

This funny old sport invented in Scotland is played all over the globe. In fact is one of the great exports of the UK. It has made some practitioners very wealthy, and a good deal more very happy. It may for some been a bit of a distraction, but for many others it has provided a time to think and reflect as they hone their skills to do it better next time.

So how does it start this strange affliction?  Like so many things with one foot in front of the other, and in this particular case adding a bit of a swing as well.  There may be the odd trap to negotiate but that’s life. So good luck... James.
