Most people that play golf play it for leisure and others play competitively. Either way both are enjoyed by all the players who participate in a round of golf. Golf is a lifetime sport. What does that mean, that it takes a lifetime to play it well? No, that means once you take up golf you can play for the rest of your life at any age. Of course to play well, you'll need more than a week, a month or even a year. Some people have been playing since elementary school and are thirty years old and still aren't good. Golf is all about patience and technique just the same with things in life and both take a while to master. My high school golf coach would always tell the team "never up, never in!" He was referring to the shots we would take that we would imagine them flying from the middle of the fairway right up to the green but always ended up short. After we would become frustrated he would tell us that golf was about risk and reward and that we always have another whole. Sometimes in life we get tough shots from all sorts of angles and it seems so simple to fix but in reality they're not. Risk and reward goes along way in life. Even pro golfers who have mastered the concept of mixing patience with technique still strugle with things in life. Money and fame don't interject with the fact that everything happens for a reason. In almost everything you do you have to give something up and you either benefit or its a downfall. Either way there is always another whole to look forward to. Life is just like a round of golf!
