The Problem With People Playing Golf

The problem with people playing golf is that most of the time they are not on the green to play golf. They can be there for any number of reasons. It could be that the boss has suggested that a round of golf on Sunday morning would be a good idea, or people feel they need the exercise, or there's a need to keep up with the Jones's, or maybe it's just an attempt to look cool and hip.

Of all the sports there are, golf is perhaps the most abused, but in the nicest possible way. This is probably so because unlike many, golf is not one of the rough and tumble sports. It would be hard to join in a rugby match because the boss suggested it, for example, or keep up with the Jones's through a quick round the world yacht race. Golf offers so many ways to be yourself, while still swinging at a ball from time to time.

People playing golf come in many different varieties and types. There's the Sunday morning amateur. He or she is the most relaxed. They are not really there to play golf. That's the excuse for being up and about. They are there with their friends, and sure, they will play a bit and even score not too badly from time to time, but by and large, the Sunday morning golfer is using golf as an excuse to socialise. It was probably a choice between golf and jogging, and let's face it, golf is a lot more sociable.

The social status golfer is not really in the category of the people playing golf, He or she is there only for the status and what it will do for them. They haven't a clue about the best driver for any given shot. If they get in a bunker, they stay in the bunker. A two foot putt is as difficult for the social status golfer as a 100 yard drive. They have the best clubs money can buy. They have the latest golf trolley and they love to whirr it along the greens. Their golf clothes are stunning to look at, and they only play when important people are watching.

Possibly the most interesting type of all the people playing golf is the, "I'm the next Tiger Woods" golfer. He, and it invariably is a "he," is swagger personified. He has forgotten more about bragging and boasting than anyone else you will meet. He may be a reasonable golfer, but his style and technique is almost perfect in his eyes. He is not fun to play with.

The know it all golfer is a pain. He, or sometime she, knows it all. They can reel off facts and figures about golf. They know the theory of the swing, the theory of putting perfectly, the theory of the superior stance - in short - they know it all, but completely miss the point. The real problem, it seems, with people playing golf is that very few are actually there to play!
