Golf is hard

Golf is hard and I am lousy at it.

I have a secret to share, more of an admission… I’m terrible at golf. It is just that I have never been good, not even close. Although the desire is there the skill is not. Having hooked up with Jaron Higgens at Palmilla Golf Course in San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur at a charity golf tournament, he offered to take me under his wing and do his best to help me stop embarrassing myself on the course. If he can help me, he can help you too!

But it seems so easy

Golf may seem like a relaxing Sunday afternoon activity, but it can actually ruin your whole week and be expensive to boot. The sport emphasizes patience and focus, requiring golfers to learn how to handle numerous different club types with accuracy and precision, unlike me who putts with a 3-wood from anywhere inside 60 yards. The game of Golf is often referred to as a “thinking man’s sport” for good reason; I think about closings, the number of diapers remaining at home, basically anything at all except what I should be at the moment of impact. Although it can be incredibly rewarding to hit that perfect shot after hours of hard work, understanding the nuances of golf and squeezing out every little bit of performance from every stroke takes dedication and commitment, which I have historically lacked on both fronts… until now.
