Male: You do not understand Zen as you would understand Algebra. You understand Zen as you would understand breathing. Golf is a lot like that. I know everyday you have your fruit and your coffee, and perhaps you may have some cereal, and eventually you get around to saying goodbye to your best pal, your dog, and it is off to work you go.
But, it never fails to look across and there is that beautiful golf course, or perhaps you are driving behind a man or a woman with a bumper sticker on the car and you know he is a golfer. If you are a non-golfer, you are probably wondering, what is a titlist anyway?
Male: Three reasons why people should play golf, scenery, friendship, and competitiveness.
Male: It is competition and challenge.
Male: Why?
Male: I like to. I would like to sit right down there and watch them head into 18th. It is a pleasure to see who plays good who plays…
Male: I just want to have fun. Yes, I want to have fun and socialize with people.
Male: Stay away from home.
Male: They should play golf, because they can exercise, socialize, and…
Male: People play golf for their own reasons. For me, it is the nature. I am a photographer and I like being around nature. It is the friendship. I really enjoy the camaraderie of the beautiful people that I meet in the golf course, and it is because I learned a lot on a golf course.
People are always telling me things, and teaching me things. And I love that. So, how do you get into golf? You too can enjoy the camaraderie of golf, and it is not difficult.
And, you do not have to play a titlist to enjoy golf. Personal opinion of course but the first thing I think you should do is simply find yourself at a driving range, and hit golf balls.
If you are just starting out, you are going to miss a lot of those balls. But, I got to tell you something, the first time you hit a golf ball really sweet, in that sweet spot you are going to be hooked for life.
If you decide yes, that is what I want to do I want to play golf. I want to get on those beautiful golf courses and play golf, the next thing you want to do is to take lessons. Trust me on this one. It is the best thing you will ever do for your golf game.
Take some golf lessons. Of course, you know taking lessons would be useless if you do not do what your instructor tells you to do. So, practice, practice, practice.
The other thing I would suggest is that you buy the cheapest set of golf clubs you can find. I mean that. Good lessons and cheap golf club, and here is why, with your cheap set of golf clubs, you are going to know everything that you do not like about those golf clubs. And then, the very next thing you need to do, is get down to about 14 or maybe 13 handicap and then buy a set of clubs that fits you and your game.
Your golf instructor will help to fit you to your golf clubs, or rather your golf clubs to your game. Because he will know what your swing is all about, and he will know what the best set of clubs are for you. And then, play golf.
Hit golf balls, play golf. Enjoy yourself. One more thing, learn the rules of the game and do precisely and exactly what the rules compel you to do. It makes the game a lot better, and you will enjoy yourself better playing the ball as it lies okay?
Your golf pro he or she, will give you the best advice, because everything I have told you so far is nothing but personal opinion.
You do not always hit the perfect golf shot. You do not always make the putt, but I will tell you this, playing golf is always fun.
