Duffers, Listen up! I went golfing for the first time this year last night. Naturally, it was frustrating, but an overall fun experience. It was full of long drives ricocheting into the woods, putts spinning around the cup, and chips going sideways...All trademarks of my golf game. The moment the puts the round into perspective was following a massive drive traveling over 280 that set me up for a nice approach on a par-4.......then I prepared to chip. Let us pretend that chipping is the worst part of my game...and by pretend I mean it is. So i set up to chip, and i accidentally (seriously) hit the ball sideways. I was about 60 yards from the hole and ended up about 80 yards away. All I could do was mutter, "That was counterproductive" to myself and laugh. What a funny game. The worst thing you can do with the shot i had when trying (got you who think, turn and fling it into the woods), yet I was smiling as i sauntered over for my next shot...That one hit the green but rolled over the back, gah! Golf is a sport that is popular because you can play it till you fall six feet under. It is also popular because it is fun. Golfing would not be worth playing if you suffered, and with the amount i play, i think it is fun. Getting mad is not worth it. Your ball will not magically come back to where you are standing (unless you have your trusty mulligan in your pocket) and allow you to hit again. So enjoy playing, make it fun. Remember, your first round will always be your worst; therefore, after you shoot twenty over, get out there again and play...maybe you can bring that 56 down to a 50, then to a 46...who knows? Keep at golf, it is rewarding.
In Conclusion: I am bad at chipping, but optimistic that i can drive the green or be far enough away to hit a short to mid iron.
