Who hasn’t said or heard it said countless times “just play
to have fun”. I couldn’t agree more that
fun must be the central goal of this game or what is the point of playing. So,
why then have I so often found myself not having much fun? Here are what I
consider three important things I have learned about this illusive thing called
“having fun” and how to achieve it.
1.
Play your own game.
If you don’t like coin games or speed golf
etc., don’t play them. “What’s good for the goose may not be good for the
gander.”
2.
Be realistic about your skill level.
It is important to continually stive for
improvement but if you are trying to compete too far beyond your skill level and
expecting success, it ain’t gonna be much fun.
3.
Find “birds of a feather”.
a.
Find a country club of like-minded people. (easier
said than done)
b.
Beware of joining games out in the WGT world at
large. Many nasty people lurk out there who are happy to ruin your day.
