twist on it to make the\u00a0game sound less stuffy.\u00a0 Now, I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s a bad thing.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, it&#8217;s quite smart.\u00a0 Look, my opinion is if you want to play from the blues then play from the blues, whether you belong there or not.\u00a0 I could care less.\u00a0 But if what you&#8217;re doing is holding people up because you stink at golf and you&#8217;re only making\u00a0a hard game that much harder,\u00a0then you need someone to tell you to tee it forward due to etiquette.<\/p>\n<p>See, the &#8220;fun&#8221; approach that Tee It Forward takes, in my opinion, is the correct approach that should be taken.\u00a0 It&#8217;s the reason I play.\u00a0 At the end of the day, I don&#8217;t really care what the number is on my scorecard.\u00a0 I care that I had fun out\u00a0on the course\u00a0with my friends.\u00a0 I try to play well obviously, but\u00a0if\u00a0I don&#8217;t, who gives a crap?\u00a0 It&#8217;s not my job.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t get paid for it.\u00a0 I&#8217;m not a pro, not trying to be a pro and understand that I never will be a pro.\u00a0 But I am trying to have fun, and I&#8217;m doing exactly that.<\/p>\n<h3>Tee It Forward\u00a0is a step in the right direction.\u00a0 The more organizations that can stress the fun aspect of the game, the better.\u00a0 If they can subconsciously teach a little etiquette as well, then\u00a0they&#8217;re really onto something.<\/h3>\n<p>My only wish is that, at some point, people will just come out and\u00a0say that golf (or any sport for that matter) is a tough game.\u00a0 And\u00a0rather than put together initiatives and such to make the game easier or more fun, someone will just\u00a0simply say\u00a0either &#8220;Hey, maybe this\u00a0game isn&#8217;t for you,&#8221; or\u00a0better yet, &#8220;Just go have fun.&#8221;<\/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>So I&#8217;ve been doing a little reading up on this Tee It Forward thing and I&#8217;ve gotta tell ya&#8230;I wanted so bad to rip it apart.\u00a0 All that would cross my mind was what pansies we were making out of people.\u00a0 &#8220;Ooooh, the game&#8217;s too haaaard&#8230;I&#8217;m not having any fuuuunnnn&#8230;., waaaaa&#8230;., waaa&#8230;.., waaaaa.&#8221;
