What do you love about this game?

Hi all what do you love about this great game?

I love teeing off when its still dark and finding my tee shoot. Just to watch the sun come up.

- Walking the course when there is still dew on the grass.

- The fact that you can be having a bad hole and then have a great chip up or sink a 10 metre putt and everything feel good again.

- The time spent with mates on the course.

- The fact that you say great job (and a few other choice words) to your playing partners after they have a good shot because golf is a game you play against yourself.

- The beers your playing partners have to buy if they don't make the ladies tee.

- The fact it is a game for all ages. I've picked up some very handy tips from people the over side of 70.

and lastly the love the fact that golf brings us all to this site to chat, swap pointers and poke fun at each other.

the fact that golf keeps you coming back for more, whether you shoot 70 or 103.

the fact that golf teaches life lessons that can be applied anywhere.

the fact that golf is a gentlemans game...none of this steroid b.s. from baseball, no cheating scandles, nothing...just pure sport.

One perfect shot a day is enough to keep me coming back. Years ago when I played scratch, I came home remembering only the bad shots that always cost me. Now, my game has deteriorated as I've gotten older, but I find I come home remembering the good shots. I sometimes wonder if I don't like it better this way.
