The Unvolontary Golfer

It is strange, but maybe I am actually on my way to turn into a golfer. Not that I know how to play or not even that I have managed to get my green card yet, but I think it got me. I have always thought it is a bit of a nerd sport and never have been able to understand how you can spent hour after hour trying to hit a ball with a stick, but strangely I have spent quite some time at the course the last couple of days and want to go there as soon as I can again. Now this is a matter of little choice; if I want to have that green card and not having wasted the money I will have to practise and as I haven’t done any of that this far I have to really get started now.

I have in my personality a rather tiresome combination of both being very impatient and very stubborn and I always thought that maybe my impatience would be an obstacle to learning golf, but it seems that golfing brings out more of the stubbornness than the impatience. I really want to see that little ball fly the way I want it to and just will not accept that it should be so very difficult. And then we you hit a nice shot you get so excited and like the feeling so much you just have to make another try, you feel sure the next one is also going to get good. Of course it is not, then you have to give it another go again,….. and there you go! Another hour just passed!
