“When a socialite is accepted into a country club, pays an uncomfortable amount for membership, meal tickets, green fees and tournament fees for in club events, and is outed for cheating while playing on a Saturday morning round for the smallest of bets... That socialite might have a rough time finding anyone to play golf with at that club again.”
Makes me glad I quit keeping score 20 or 30 years ago. I enjoy the game thoroughly but why be held back ir frustrated by keeping score?
Just swing it and watch the beauty of a ball in flight! I don’t keep score on the driving range either. All golf really means to me is a movable driving range... like I said I thoroughly enjoy smacking balls but ain’t going to get all worked up over a score...
Exactly. I read long ago that this is the psychological lure that hooks golfers. Indeed, hit just one of those on your first driving range experience and ever-after you want to duplicate it.
Nicklaus, Player and Trevino are in their 80s and can no longer win, but they still love golfing.
