I pretty sure I get where your going.I agree that this is on topic, because beer is a stress relief and so is golf and if you put them together what a great combination. What a great game this is.

On a serious point about why I play golf; I started playing to honor my Parents who love this game and it got addicting for me late in life after I retired from the military nine years ago at age 50.

I got my grandson involved so he and I get to play, my nine year old grand daughter wants to play now. Even the wife has started with lessons, but she keeps saying she is not ready for the course yet, we are going to play when we retire depending on the money situation, we're feeling the need to drop out of the permanent work force.

This game has also been very therapeutic, ending on what I think is humorous, because golf is a good stress reliever and I can control the urge to swear when I have behavior problems in my classroom with my troubled kids.

Its a game that keeps you learning and increases your alertness to your surroundings.

Why I play the this game is because you can play a round like I did today only nine holes and have a putter with a mind of it's own trust 3 puts were a good hole. Then on 7 & 8 I two putted which made me feel a lot better and then I come the the 9th I'm about 4.5 metres (14-15 ft) from the hole and stink it in one putt and that make yo walk of the course very happy.

Other than my serious reasons for playing the game, posted very early in this thread, I also play it to relieve stress. With what has been going on at work, if I didn't hit something in anger that wasn't human, I'd be in jail already.

I know that feeling I've had rounds like that too. I don't know about you though but when ever I really hit a ball in anger it never quiet works as wel as if I was to hit it normally.
