Do you play for.......?

[Alex1975]

Hi All,


Just a quick poll to see the main reason you play golf. This being a golf forum I would think it may be a bit one sided as the participants are more on the hard core side. So onto the poll.

Its the MAIN reason I am looking for.

 

[RGDave]

Is there another option?

I do wonder sometimes.

 

[Alex1975]

I am all about the quest for perfection, a perfect swing, the lowest possible handicap, I want to beat the game of golf and spend a life doing so, just as well hey.

My goal is to get to single figures.....Im a very sociable guy and would get on with almost anyone but i play very competitive wth myself....As i just retirted from football last year golf was perfect for the transition......I dont ever think that the competitive streak will leave me its in my nature but it can be a hinderance at times too....

 

[clubchamp07]

Competition and social, I really enjoy the comps but I also love the craic out for a round with mates for a few quid.

 

[Screwback]

Before this year i would of said to get as low and win as much as possible but i have played better golf when playing bounce games this year because i have just been enjoying the craic and not taking it as serious.

I really want to win evertime I play a club competition or match but also want to enjoy the round and the company (something I've not always done). I also really like the Saturday morning roll up where the humour can be more destructive than any shank

Cough cough and what did you vote? Like I dont already know.

 

[bigslice]

none of the above, the MAIN reason is just for the enjoyment of playing golf.

 

[fundy]

Both for me, used to be ultra competitive but having missed most of the last 5 years due to injury just being out playing is a huge plus, doesnt mean the competitive juices arent there, just not quite as strong currently

 

[JustOne]

I voted for both although this year was purely social, I probably would like to get better and (oddly) I don't really care too much if I win or not..... most of the time.

I know if I play well enough then I'll win and if I don't then I won't, no point in fretting about it.

 

[Bigfoot]

I just want to improve with the ultimate target to be playing on the scratch team. This is a longshot but I need a goal to aim for.

 

[Parmo]

To get as low as possible and win. I enjoy the company on Saturday mornings but on the wrong crowd it can be bad for your game.

 

[Tiger]

Is there another option? Used to be competitiveness but now I play for fun and hope to improve.

 

[medwayjon]

I went for both.

Love the competitive aspect when there is money on the table.

 

[bobmac]

As I dont chase the handicap any more, I just play for fun and very rarely keep score.

Same here, although i still can be competitive even in a friendly, so my partners tell me

I will leave it to Smiffy to come back on that one !

I always said I never wanted to be one of those guys who plays golf to get away from the wife, but that has happend a few times this year...
