as someone who has an uncle that is a golf pro and a father who is a 3 handicap...
I'm absolutely ****ing baffled by how they are so damn good. I have tried to learn, and have excelled at times on the range...I feel like my swing is perfect.
But I just get ****ing worse with age. I just find golf to infuriating to play now. I have always excelled at sports so when I don't excel at something I get infuriated...but 3 years ago I started hitting my driver a consistent 250 and I hit it straight.
I played one round of golf with my dad that summer and he tweaked something, and his friend tweaked something...and now I'm all ****ed in the head...and for the first time in my life I slice the shit out of the ball and it's insane. It's unfixable. I used to pull the ball...now I slice it. I don't get it.
I am pretty weird though. I played baseball my whole life and couldn't bat right handed...I hit lefty, I played hockey lefty...did everything else righty. Threw, everything. And I was a good hitter...
I golf right handed. My dad taught me as a kid that golfing lefty was ****ing reeruned and made me golf right handed and it feels 100% natural to me. There have been years where I was a 90-100 golfer...
but last year...****, I was horrible. My drives were CONSISTENTLY out of bounds to where I had to stop using my driver. There was nothing I could do to fix it on the range, either. It was like a true tin cup experience for me and it made me want to never play golf again. And I probably won't.
Unfortuately with my recent knee injury that doesn't want to get better I can no longer play flag football or softball (competitively) either...
so I'm down to ****ing bowling.
