Why did you start golfing?

It was strickly the beauty of the courses that got me wanting to play.Now 25 years later..my wife and i have played some magnificent golf courses.Because of golf we have enjoyed life a lot more and have a lot more memories to share.What a great game.Ya'll playin' tomorrow?David

Well if you guys have ever gone to Academy Outdoor store place (I forget =) ) they have a small area for putting. Ever since I was like 3 I would get shoes there then I would run over to the practice green and I would put with the clubs there. I had no idea what I was doing but I wanted to get the ball in the hole. My dad kept asking me if I wanted to play golf and ikept saying no. Well 9 years later when I was in 7th grade, I joined the golf team. I had no idea it was that hard. I felt like quitting and then I heard that there are so many scholarships being not used in golf just because kids think it's too easy. Well I kept practicing and now I was in the high school varsity team as a freshman and I am going to be in it again as a sophomore next year. The awesome thing now is that I hit farther than everyone else on my team =) .

my husband playes golf for year. now I thought it's enough spending my weekends alone and started to play golf myself! never thought I could have that much fun playing golf. always thought it's kind of ... well, boring ... but hey, now that I'm in on it I really enjoy it!

Hi guys,
I had always shunned golf also. Thinking it was boring and only for old men and snooty rich guys trying to get away from their wives. (now I play and realized only part of that was true!!) I began playing disc golf about 8 years ago. I learned the game and always had a great time. I really thought I had really grasped the rules and methods. Last summer I got invited to a golf outing with the in- law's family for their family reunion. So my brother-in-law told me that he wanted to take me to the driving range and shag a couple buckets of balls. I was quicky pointed out my flaws in my swing. I strived to correct them. Well nevertheless our outing was rained out. I was very let down. Now I've played all the local courses and feel I have the game at least partially figured out. I absolutely am obsessed with golf my wife will constantly be annoyed with my golf talk but I guess that's why I leave her at home!!! Great question!! Thanks for letting me share my story!

Well when I was much younger, I wanted to do something really stupid one day,so I bought some golf clubs. I wanted to add something to my life, that would always cause me grief, agony, joy, and humble me, all at the same time. I wanted something I could spend many thousands of dollars, and hours on, through out a devoted career, trying to achieve the impossible.

Actually I took the game up at the urging of some family, and friends at a young age. I like the idea of being out of doors, in a relaxed state. I especially liked the mental, and physical challenges the game provided. I never beat the game of golf, but I came close to breaking even with the total game quite a few times. It was, and still is my way of "recharging". Not much feels better than a well struct ball that actually does what I planned for it to do. It still happens occasionally.

Seemples. I met a girl I wanted to play around with

I used to be a sailor and spent all my summers on the water. Once was invited to play golf at a business fundraiser. Played with three other non players. We were absolutely the worst bunch out on the course and came in dead last. But I loved it. A few years later I moved and had to let go of the sailboat. Took up golf for the fun and networking and have enjoyed it ever since. Still have a lot to learn!

for me, it is not just a game, firstly it is for work, but i really love it. it is a pratice of overcoming yourself

Being around a golf club from a very young age as my father is also a PGA Professional. It was inevitable I guess - although unlike most now days I was not pushed into it I just enjoyed it and was lucky enough to be in a position to be able to play.
