I was propelled into golf when I was really young. It was drilled into my head that learning to play golf well was an asset that would help lead to future success as a man...you may have heard it too? ..guys who play golf were usually successful in some way etc etc.. ..the old gentlemans game thing! My mentors were partly right but not entirely..golf is ultimately a sport that should be enjoyed, golf shouldn't be something that your trying to use to network and climb career ladders with...if that happens fine!..so be it!...but...I think the main thing should be relaxation and having a good time.

i cant agree more. besides the challenge to hit a little round ball into a 4 inch cup, being in the great outdoors could not be more enjoyable. you always think you can do better. everyone plays for that one round where absolutely everything comes together and you shoot par golf, or something close. put that with your friends and the 19th hole and it doesnt get any better than that!

Hmmm... Why do I play golf. There a soooo many reasons.

Love self-punishment.
Driving a cart when drinking is waaay more fun than drinking watching TV.
Gets me out of the house. (Read: away from the wife!)
I get to hit things for 4 hours.

Those are just the ones that come to mind right now.

Outdoors..

A game that let's you enjoy the outdoors isn't a bad feature either...

I play golf because it is the one sport that the average joe can play and do something that the greatest golfers in the world would be jealous of.

It is a game where no one can influence your outcome, there is no one there to block your putt from rolling in from 100ft, and you have no teammate (most of the time) to pick up your slack when you fail.

In its purest, golf is you vs. you, and no matter what you always lose.

But mostly I play golf because I learned long ago that it is the only one of the major televised sports that I can play absolutely piss drunk.

The best golf has offered me is the opportunity to share a hobby with my fiancee, giving us much more time together than we had before, being able to compete one with the other due to the handicap rule and have a great time. Most sports make it difficult for two people with different skills to play against each others and make it fun. Not with golf...
