Now. Right now is the time. So, put down whatever you’re doing and head out to your local track and start golfing. Don’t worry, just tell your boss, C.O. (as in commanding not corrections officer), S.O. (kind of like a corrections officer but more on the significant side) or whoever we said it’s o.k. They’ll understand. In fact, they might even join you…or not and you’ll be fired. Either way you will have time to start golfing. Bonus!
Non-golfers pay attention and if any of you golfers know of any non-golfers please refer them to this. Now, when is it time to pick up golf? Great question! I’ve put together some life scenarios that point to the fact that maybe it’s time to start playing golf. Here we go:
- If you play a sport (other than golf) in a rec league and suffer from what I call 18/80 syndrome*.
- If your weekends consist of a substantial “honey-do” list and you need an escape. Hey, you don’t want to disappoint the fellas.
- If you are looking to succeed in business. Fact: Many deals have been forged on the course.
- If your weekends have time gaps during the day where you can squeeze in 9 or 18…or even if they don’t.
- If you are retired, semi-retired, wanna-be retired or not even close to retiring.
- If, as Mark Twain said, you are looking to ruin a good walk.
- If you are completely stressed out, frustrated, pissed off and want to make it worse.
- If you feel your cursing is sub par and needs more practice.
- If you want a chance to use our glossary.
- If you want to be part of something great.
There you have it, reasons to start golfing. Get out there and play dammit!
Hit’em long…yell FORE!!!
* 18/80 syndrome is when you still think you can play like you are 18 but in reality you look and feel like you’re 80.
