Golf's A Beach!

Golf's a beach! That's where my golf ball was most of the time, in the bunker (sand trap) on every fairway. Golf is starting to rattle my nerves! I might have to step away for awhile until I get my composure back.

While trying to find ways to improve my game, I found this interesting article by Michael Anthony called Reduce the Variables of Golf: Golf can be a very complex game because a golfer's swing mechanics are not a simple thing to learn and execute instinctively. However, the more you can reduce the variables of golf, the simpler the game becomes and the easier it is to lower your score.

Unfortunately, many golfers trying to lower their score spend most of their time and energy on buying expensive equipment or practicing without taking lessons. Besides not taking lessons the average golfer neglects to work on improving the simpler variables that they have more control over.

Fortunately, there are three other variables that influence a golfer’s performance and score. They are course management or strategy, physical condition and the mental game. These variables are much simpler to control than the mechanics of the golf swing. Read more here:

And those are all the reasons not to play golf. And that's why I don't.
