Golf: An Apology

It's not for everyone, because not everyone is honorable.

Seriously, golf should be played for "Fun," just as long as "fun" means disappointment and pain, tempered with the occasional pure bliss of doing something right.

Which, if you can stand back far enough, defines being alive. And the farther back you have to stand to see this, the less likely you are to enjoy life, much less golf.

Golf has good breaks and bad breaks. Some times you win, some times you lose. Some times you just sort of break even and you could have spent the day in bed and not seen any difference.

Golf is. Life is. The latter encapsulates the former, but the former helps you comprehend, understand and even appreciate the latter more. Not that Life cares one way or the other if you appreciate it or not. But it's my view that if you can do something better than others are doing it, you should.

Thank you for listening.
