We here at Golfstinks.com love the game, so don’t let the name fool you. At some point, I’m pretty sure every golfer out there has voiced their opinion that “golf stinks” – whether it be half-heartedly or for the moment or on the whole. You see, this is the common factor that links the majority of golfers out there; we’re all alike in our not-so-great play. Do we quit and hang up the sticks? Hell no! We go out and buy more expensive ones.
So, about this stinking at golf thing. Take a look at these next ten questions:
1. Do you play or have you ever played some form of golf? (Driving ranges count, mini or putt-putt golf does not, and don’t tell me you are working on your putting. When the hell did a green ever have a clown’s mouth or windmill)?2. Are you good?3. Do you stink?4. Do you own golf clubs or at least one golf club (not used for protection)?5. Do you enjoy the game for the most part?6. Do you create curse words on the course that makes holy water boil?7. Do you use a golf ball to play (any kind, range balls included)?8. Can you use a term from golfstinks.com’s Average Joe Golf Glossary to describe any part of your last round?9. Can you recall that last great shot or memory you had on the course that’ll keep you coming back?10. Are you going to golf again?
I’ll tell you what, if you answer yes to any of these requirements, you my friend, are part of a community – our community – of over 25 million members strong. Now get out there and play…(and of course, yell fore)!
Pete, I think you ought to count mini-golf. I didn’t take up golf until my mid-20s, but I played a lot of Putt-Putt growing up. Although I had trouble with the full swing when I started, I putted way better than any of the people I played with.
Well, excuse me, Mike. What did you write a book on putting or something? Just kidding!
Actually, for those that don’t know, Mike has a great book out called “Ruthless Putting”.
Now how can I argue with that? Touché Mike, Touché .
