Whether you're close to me or not, I'll tell you that I'm NOT very good at playing golf.
You know, that thing about every now and then you send the ball into orbit for a while (not to say anything else) with Elon Musk's satellites.
All that crap about double-digit handicaps and blah blah blah.
But I have a secret:
I love playing golf.
I have a blast. If I had time, I would play 36 holes a day.
I'll tell you How golf came into my life when I least looked for it but when I needed it most.
Yes, you read that right, golf is needed. When you like something, you try to indulge in it. If it's part of who you are, you identify what's good about it for you and you incorporate it. Obviously there's a barrier to entry, but It is not economical, although many will tell you yes and fall into prejudice and stereotype.
It's a mental barrier.
The same mental barrier that Seve destroyed by hitting balls against a net inside a stable to train, using his only 4 iron as equipment, or practicing on the sand at the beach, or jumping over the fence of the Pedreña golf course on nights when the moon was full enough to illuminate the course.
I started Neither too early nor too late and in a difficult stage, that difficulty that life shares with Golf. In a baptism organized by a friend, like a rope that is thrown to you when you are somewhat shipwrecked. That is, The game, not just a sport. The Game.
I do not intend to indoctrinateIf you want a golf bible, the 5 lessons from good old Ben Hogan.
I’m not going to give you “5 quick steps/tricks” to play twice as well in 10 minutes, if that’s what you’re looking for I suggest you stop reading this, grab your bag of clubs and get your ass in the direction of your nearest facility and pro.
I intend to start this as a golf ball buyer's guide. Let's build a community around that and go as far as we want together.
We are on the 1st tee and I grant you the honor. Welcome to Golf balls!
Dani.
