New York) listening to their mid-day show.\u00a0 This particular show is hosted by kind of an odd pair due to their age.\u00a0 While one guy, Evan Roberts, is\u00a0in his late-20&#8217;s, his\u00a0co-host, Joe Beningo, is in his late 50&#8217;s.\u00a0 As you could imagine, the age difference makes for good conversation\u00a0on multiple sports topics and all-around good sports radio.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But on Friday I tuned in\u00a0just in time to catch part of a conversation about golf and golf tournaments.\u00a0 I missed the beginning, but\u00a0I got the general idea &#8211; the way a younger guy looks at golf vs. the way an older guy does.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A caller was trying to talk up how much fun it is to go to a golf tournament, but Evan just wasn&#8217;t really down with it.\u00a0 Joe on the other hand was in agreement with the caller, trying to express how incredible some of the shots and putts the pros make truly are.\u00a0 But what it came down to were the two overall opinions.\u00a0 Evan&#8217;s was that he will probably take up golf later in life.\u00a0 But for the time being, while he&#8217;s still got his legs, he&#8217;s going to participate in more active sports.\u00a0 Joe on the other hand, wishes he took up golf\u00a0earlier in life.\u00a0 This conversation got me wondering how many golfers and non-golfers perceive\u00a0the sport\u00a0this way.\u00a0 Using myself as an example, I can see where both guys are coming from.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><br \/><span>I spent\u00a0most\u00a0of my early life living practically right around the corner from a golf course, but never had any interest in playing\u00a0the sport.\u00a0 I was younger, and interested in the more active sports.\u00a0 I wanted to play\u00a0basketball, football and softball.\u00a0 Not golf.\u00a0 So for that reason, I understand where Evan is coming from.\u00a0 As you get older,\u00a0the active sports are going to be gone and you&#8217;ll be relegated to either watching them on TV or watching\u00a0your kids play.\u00a0 So get the time in when you can.\u00a0 Soon, golf will be your only option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But on the other hand, I certainly\u00a0see Joe&#8217;s view.\u00a0\u00a0Once\u00a0I began playing relatively regularly, I too had wished\u00a0I had taken up the game sooner than\u00a0I did.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t realize until I began playing, just because\u00a0it&#8217;s not an &#8220;active&#8221; sport doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s not\u00a0fun.\u00a0 The key is to play the game as you would a pickup basketball game, or a softball game &#8211; don&#8217;t take it too serious.\u00a0 Just have fun with your buddies, relax and play a game.\u00a0 I wonder now what took me so long to take it up, and I&#8217;m glad my friends introduced it to me when they did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So is it the Evan-type perception that is keeping the younger generation from taking the sport up as much as in the past?\u00a0 I can see how it would be.\u00a0 Watch it on TV and it looks relatively boring.\u00a0 But it&#8217;s a different story out on the course.\u00a0 It can be competitive if you want it to be.\u00a0 Or, like my golfing buddies and I, it can just be a relaxing day out\u00a0with your buddies.\u00a0 Either way, it&#8217;s a sport that deserves a chance from everyone, young or old.\u00a0 And bearing in mind the opinions of the two hosts, there&#8217;s going to come a point in time when golf will be your only realistic sports option.\u00a0 So the sooner you take it up, the better you&#8217;re likely to be\u00a0and the more appreciation you&#8217;ll have for it in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So Evan (and those with his thought process), if\u00a0this reaches you somehow, let Joe take you on the course once or twice.\u00a0 Give it a\u00a0round or two now and you&#8217;ll appreciate it more later.\u00a0 And hey, if you don&#8217;t like it, at least you gave it a chance.\u00a0 But trust me, ten years from now (maybe less)\u00a0you&#8217;ll be looking for a sport you can participate in without having\u00a0an oxygen tank in tow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Swing &#8217;til you&#8217;re happy!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Occasionally, while I&#8217;m driving to\u00a0and from work or out on my lunch break, I listen to sports talk radio.\u00a0 And it was just this past Friday when I tuned in mid-day for a couple of minutes\u00a0and caught an interesting golf conversation.
