Golf is more than what the naked eye can see. It’s not just driving around a golf cart, hitting a ball, and waiting for other people. The sport is as much a teacher as it is a game. Through golf you learn patience, strength, and perseverance among other great tools for life. Golf is as addicting and fun as anything you can imagine, it’s the greatest sport on the planet soulfully because of the depth of  learning that comes out of it. It teaches you life lessons that are important for your future.

I strongly believe that everyone should play golf in order to better themselves as people. If you see a true golfer, you might observe that they are more appropriate, mature, and sophisticated than most others. They learn through golf etiquette what is a proper manner in which to conduct themselves. People who believe that golf is “boring” are mildly impatient. I challenge those people to give the game another chance. They can learn patience very quickly if they just play a couple rounds of golf. Golf is a game of ups and downs. You have good and bad days, but after having a bad day, think about what went wrong, go to the driving range, and fix it. Perseverance is this very concept. It is picking yourself up when your down, but people aren’t born with it. They learn it.Golf will teach you it better than any person could. This is why you should play golf.
