What&#8217;s your rush?\u00a0 Aren&#8217;t you enjoying yourself?\u00a0 Don&#8217;t you want to spend some time out here with your buddies?\u00a0\u00a0Did you make other plans?\u00a0 You know we were golfing today and we always grab a bite to eat after the round&#8230;did you really make other plans so now you&#8217;re\u00a0going to bitch and moan the whole round about how you need to leave?\u00a0 You know what&#8230;next time just stay home!<\/p>\n<p>But golf is full of this type of behavior.\u00a0 If it&#8217;s not the speed of the game, it&#8217;s the level of play or the cost of everything associated with it.\u00a0 What do I mean?\u00a0 Here&#8230;.let me explain.<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>The speed of the game.<\/strong>\u00a0 As explained above, golf is a slow moving\u00a0sport.\u00a0 We are all aware of that going in.\u00a0 So why in the hell is every golfer in such a hurry to finish?\u00a0 Why do you make a 9am tee-time and then make plans for\u00a0the early afternoon?\u00a0 You know there&#8217;s a good chance you won&#8217;t be done in time.\u00a0 And if you are done, you&#8217;ll be cutting it awfully close.\u00a0 Everyone understands there is no rule\u00a0saying your round must be completed in four hours, right?\u00a0 You all know that time was just made up by courses so they can squeeze in as much golf as possible in order to make\u00a0as much money as possible, right?\u00a0 Obviously, no one wants to be stuck behind someone who is just so deliberately and unnecessarily slow &#8211; bad golf is tolerable, slow golf is not.\u00a0 But as long as that person has the common courtesy to let a faster group play through, then what&#8217;s the issue?\u00a0 We need to go into these rounds with a more relaxed, laid back attitude.\u00a0 It will make your round so much more fun.\u00a0 If you&#8217;re in that big a hurry, play nine or play an executive\/par=-3 course.<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>The competition\u00a0in the game.<\/strong>\u00a0 Most of us golfers are just out there for fun.\u00a0 The majority just plays for no reason other than they simply enjoy playing.\u00a0 We&#8217;re not pros, we&#8217;re never going to be\u00a0pros and we\u00a0accept that.\u00a0 We don&#8217;t care.\u00a0 The game is more fun when that reality is accepted.\u00a0 But it bothers me when I hear the people who claim this mindset, but in the next breath they are going on about how\u00a0their lessons have helped lower their handicap\u00a0to a level better than the next guys.\u00a0 Seriously?\u00a0 I thought you were out here for fun.\u00a0 Why do you care if you have a better handicap than your buddy?\u00a0 I&#8217;ve made the comparison before, but it still rings true &#8211; I didn&#8217;t hire a batting coach when I played beer league softball.\u00a0 But I played softball for the same reason I play golf &#8211; for fun.\u00a0 So why would I spend a stupid amount of money for lessons\u00a0in something I&#8217;m never going to take any further than my local track?<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>The cost of the game.<\/strong>\u00a0 Unless you&#8217;re rich or incredibly well-off, the cost of this sport is something all of us take into account.\u00a0 We all know by now that you can take a $50 pair of shoes, slap some spikes on the bottom, and now they&#8217;re $100 golf shoes.\u00a0 Many of us will not\u00a0treat ourselves to a nicer course because of the price.\u00a0 Some\u00a0golfers feel like\u00a0they don&#8217;t belong there because they&#8217;re not good enough to play a course like that (which is a ridiculous way of thinking by the way).\u00a0 OK, I understand that.\u00a0 But don&#8217;t complain about the cost of the game when you show up in your $60 polo shirt, using your $120 putter to tap around a ball that came out of a package\u00a0which\u00a0cost you\u00a0$40 for a dozen.\u00a0 You can spend\u00a0one-third of that on all of those things, and next thing you know you will have the money to play that nicer course!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not saying all golfers act in this manner, and I get why some do.\u00a0 I understand why someone&#8217;s handicap means something to them.\u00a0 I get that people feel like anything more than four hours is too long to be\u00a0golfing.\u00a0 And I understand that people\u00a0have\u00a0places they would rather\u00a0spend their money than on a golf course.\u00a0 I just find the contradictions amusing.\u00a0 Oh well&#8230;one more thing I love about this sport!<\/p>\n<p>Swing &#8217;til you&#8217;re happy!<\/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>Next to a chess match, golf just might be the slowest moving sport going.\u00a0 Or maybe it just feels that way when you&#8217;re watching or playing it.\u00a0 But the funny thing about that is, every golfer is\u00a0in such a hurry to get their round finished!\u00a0 I hate playing with people who are in a rush.\u00a0 [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":4498,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1999],"tags":[2694,2693,559,1508,2692],"class_list":{"0":"post-4497","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf-life","8":"tag-cost-of-golf","9":"tag-executive-golf-course","10":"tag-golf-equipment","11":"tag-par-3-course","12":"tag-speed-of-golf","13":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Contradictions of Golf &#8226;
