A Really Big Game

Working in the Commercial Real Estate world is so fun. Guess what else is fun? 

 

GOLF. 

 

Here is why:

Let’s start with the part that everyone thinks about first:

 

1. Technique  (Putting)

 
“The distance measured from the center of the ball at the point of rest to a point set at the end of the follow through should exceed the distance measured from the center of the ball at point of rest to a point set at the end of the backswing by a factor of two.”
 
In algebraic terms:    FT =  2BS

 

If one follows this axiom, one will putt well.  Then the game is about…..

 

2. Competition

One competes with the course design to see if they can beat it. One competes with the weather. One competes with one’s human opponents: individuals-teams.   One competes with oneself……OH MY! Hard to beat him.

 

There have been books written on the psychological side of this game. The levels are compounded as you play each hole.  Now, let’s start to really have fun……..

 

3. Company

There is just nothing like the fun of being with true golfers.  True golfers are the ones who state their correct score, don’t tee it up, and pay little attention to how you are playing, instead trying to beat you while you play the best game of your life because they played better.     

  

 

Be Careful, the game can consume.  The desire to try again is burning, but it’s worth it.
