Top 10 Reasons Why I Love Golf
1. Unlike most other sports, you can watch a golf match eleven months out of the year.
2. Playing golf is accessible to most mortals, unlike polo or showing horses.
3. It’s the rare golf course that doesn’t offer a scenic vista here and there–usually more than one.
4. You can equally golf with family and friends or all by yourself.
5. Golf is enjoyable whether you’re 17 or 70 (I don’t know personally about the 70 thing, but that’s what I hear.)
6. Tiger Woods. (I’m a fan; what can I say.)
7. The promise of a hole-in-one accompanies the first drive of every hole.
8. My annual trip to Akron’s Firestone course for the Bridgestone Invitational to watch the best players in the world compete, especially the more-casual practice days, where you can see them up close and personal.
9. You don’t have to be a scratch golfer to enjoy the game.
10. The unhurried, yet regular pace of golf.
