John Madden wrote a hilarious article in Sports Illustrated in 1988 (pretty sure, but can’t find it) entitled, “You never GET Golf”. One of his best ever riotous pieces.
I have an incredible true story on how addicting golf is, which Tiger Woods recently admitted and stated. It’s more addicting than heroin, cocaine.
My dad was addicted and while he had me swinging a club the day I could walk (almost), and they said I was a natural, I deeply resented the game - because I never had a dad because of it.
Too tired to write true story on addiction to golf, may post it later....
Don Imus once remarked “How tough is golf”after a sports report that stated a eighty plus golfer had made a hole in one and a thirteen year old girl shot a 67.
