what do you guys think about obsession with golf perfection?
i practice really hard and im a great golfer(2 handicap pretty much anywhere). and nothing is ever good enough for me and i always strive for the perfect golf game. alot of my friends said it isnt healthy because i think about my swing all the time(except when im golfing of course, im great at blacking out any thoughts) and one of my friends actually mentioned how i can hit a 200 yard shot and knock it 2 feet from the cup and i wouldnt be happy because my divot wasnt lined up to where i wanted it(true event actually)
to me my "its not good enough" scheme seems to work great for my golf game but what do you guys think? is it healthy golf wise? or just life wise? i have a great life, a great job, i go on dates, have awesome freaking doggies and i dont stress out too much but i do sometimes when im not swinging crisp. some of my friends say this isnt a healthy path for a 24 year old. i’d give up most of my possesions to become a pro, and im aware its slim making tour but i wont quit!
Golf is a game of passion. Its a game that pushes you mental and physically ever time you play. Most golfer are not happy with there game because they always know in the back of there head they can improve. That is way you see guys like Tiger, Phil, Elkington, and everyone else on the PGA working on the range for hours on end, sometimes even after a six hour round of golf. So do I think you are crazy, no, I just think you have caught the "Golf Bug" are you are passionate about it. Keep going after your dreams!
If you have that kind of passion for golf have you ever though about getting into the golf business?…Working in the golf business is a great way to learn, practice, make future connections and get paid for going what you love.
Have you looked at playing some mini tours, like the Pepsi Tour, Hooters Tour, Grey Goose Tour, and Tight Lies Tour, just to list a few…These are great little tour to get some exposure, make some money,don’t cost that much to play (200 to 500 dollars for an entry fee) and also a great way to see how you stack up against other people your age.
Good Luck.
