I did! Yes, I really did. I thought it was a boring kind of sport. And I even didn’t consider it as a sport.
But then, I had to change my mind about it.
My cousin, Elga, and her husband, Jim, invited me to join them in a golf course. Of course, I refused, politely, while thinking…what on earth makes them think I would love golf?
But the lovely couple insisted me. I had a bad thought that they were just trying to torture me (I didn’t get along perfectly with Elga back then when we were kids
).
Unfortunately, my Mom found out about it and claimed me as a very impolite cousin if I kept saying NO, THANKS.
So, I went. I hit. And, I liked it!
I felt so silly for turning down their invitation at the first place.
What makes me like it?
Well, golf is a kind of sport (yes, now I consider it as a sport, an interesting one, indeed) that needs full concentration. You have to hit the ball strategically and powerfully. A strong stamina and a great concentration are crucial.
Now, I am a golfer. An amateur. But who knows, maybe one day, I can beat Tiger Wood!
BTW, here are some things you need to prepare if you feel like trying to golf:
- A golf bag along with one set of complete set of golf sticks (golf clubs). These are not cheap, I know. But, you still can get the ones with good qualities and reasonable price. You only need to do a detailed survey.
- A pair of qualified and comfortable golf shoes. In the driving range, you can use any shoes but in the field, golf shoes are a must. Why? Because these shoes are specially designed to be grass-friendly. So, they won’t cause any damage to the filed.
- Golf balls, golf gloves, golf clothing and other golf equipments and accessories.
Have a nice try!
