Golf Confessions

Golf can truly be a game for life.  No matter whether you are playing at the finest private club in town or you are trying to get into a game at the city park golf course.  You  will see golfers of all ages and sizes.  The game of golf has a way of making friends of total strangers when they are matched up in a foursome.  It has always amazed me whenever you meet people from different backgrounds the game of golf has a way of evening the playing field for all of the participants.  It does not matter if the foursome is made up of business executives, truck drivers, preachers or whatever their background they all love the game and play by the same set of rules.
 
The game is so fascinating to such a variety of people and is used for so many mutual benefits.  Almost every Monday at so many clubs there is a fund raiser being held to benefit different groups and organizations in every town across America.  Most all sporting groups, school, medical groups and just about any organization that gets involved in fund raising sooner or later they will have a golf tournament to raise money.  Many people owe their educations to golf because of so many scholarships  that golf provides.  The golfing community has been well represented in the relief efforts to the  tsunami victims. 
 
And the great thing about these events, the young and old can tribute to the success in equal proportions.  It does not matter if you have a +1 handicap or you have never broken 100, these outings bring people together.  Something that has always caught my eye at golf courses all over is when you see two or three generations playing together.  No matter the level of their skills these generations can compete with each other with their handicaps and have a very competitive match.  It is also interesting to see so many people that take up the game much later on in life, it is never too late to get started. 
 
See you on the next tee.
