DESCRIBE WHAT GOLF MEANS TO YOU

[MVP]

GOLF
We are all very passionate about the game on this forum!
I'd like it if you guys/gals could describe in no more than 35 words what golf really means to you deep down in your heart of hearts!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

It is an expression of my freedom and is a game seldom conqured and never mastered. It will lift your soul and break your heart. It is a sensual lover and a cold mistress

 

[billyg]

A day spent in a secret garden recapturing long lost childlike frivolity pleasantly at odds with a country otherwise ruthlessly hell bent on crushing the human spirit.

 

[GB72]

Heaven and Hell simultaneously.

 

[time_vans]

exercise for the body,nourishment for the soul but hard labour without parole for the brain.

 

[Gasp]

"The Harmony of golfs tongue hath into bondage brought my too diligant soul"

 

[shanker]

There are obviously a few philosophers on this forum. I thought Homer's post took some beating until I read Billyg's. GB72 hits the nail on the head, however. ''Heaven and Hell at the same time''. Time Vans is a deep thinker, too.

"The best game in the world to be bad at"

Just wish I started playing at 100% fitness.

 

[Basher]

Agony and ecstasy, fresh air and gentle exercise, a place where gentlemanly conduct is expected and not ridiculed. A game both loved and at times hated but it still makes you come back for more.

Bang on 35 words!!!

It is the game I love and it gets me away from thoughts of work, paying for the wedding, the inland revenue (evil thoughts) and woes in general.

 

[tpred]

A few hours in peacefull surroundings with good company enjoying the game you love (and hate for a few minutes each round).
Rounded off with a chat and a pint after in the bar. What more could a man want.(plenty of things lol) but il settle for what i have .

 

[geronimo]

get away from the ball and chain for a few hours, some gentle exercise and to hell with the bad shots i will enjoy/remember the good'uns

 

[brendy]

Its a part of our lives like our wives, children, jobs, shaggy dogs and material posessions.....only more important.

 

[Boabski]

LIFE !!!!!! DON'T SHOW THIS TO THE MISSUS

 

[madandra]

No work

 

[MVP]

Golf is the great escape from life's woes. No matter how hard it can be, it will always keep me on the path of enlightenment, opening doors of opportunity on its way.

 

[def]

its like sex on tap.

 

[viscount17]

Golf is art. The perfect strike soaring into an azure sky captures all the elements of the greatest poetry, sculpture or painting.
And, on a melancoly day, that image will always be before you.

 

[TonyN]

It means makin the most of my free time rather than sit at home and get unfit. Plus i dont have to put a wash on or tidy up while she's in work if i take her dad!

 

[clubchamp07]

It means alot to us all whenever we're sitting at home talking about it.

I love the freedom, fresh air and the hope that I break 80
