Golf is the Game of a Lifetime! Don't Wait a Lifetime to Learn!
Hi, I’m Mel Sole, Director of Instruction at the
Mel Sole Golf School, headquartered at
Pawleys Plantation Golf and Country Club in
Pawleys Island, SC. We conduct 1, 2, and 3-day golf schools, hourly golf lessons, and senior golf schools—any golf instruction program your heart desires. Give us a call at 800-624-4653 or 843-237-4993. We will be happy to book a commuter school or a package that contains accommodations, golf, and golf school.
Golf can be played at any age.
Golf is a game that can be played from as young as 3 years old to as old as 100! I don't know of any other sport that can claim that. Golf is the game of a lifetime. Surreal, at times, slamming us down to earth on others! But one thing is for sure, we all absolutely, without concession, love this game to bits! We will stand on the range in 100-degree heat or 40-degree cold and bang away, hoping to find lightning in a bottle! Sometimes we go out and play, and the game feels so easy. Other times it feels like we are playing for the very first time! We learn to get along with others, play honestly, obey the rules, and socialize with our playing partners after the game. Golf is the game of a lifetime, don't wait a lifetime to learn!
The word ‘GOLF’ conjures up all sorts of emotions in different people, from love, hate, confusion to thoughts like ‘what I play that stupid game?’
But what is this sports ‘thing’ called golf? The nice way of putting it is to hit a little white, or a host of ‘new’ coloured balls around a park like area with the intent of putting that same little ball into a hole and marking down how many strokes/shots/strikes/swipes or whatever you took doing that………… aaah yes say the skeptics, that about covers it plus a whole lot of ‘other’ knowledgeable comments on the way!!!!
Breath deeply, step back a step or two, and take note………
This is probably one of the most rewarding of endeavors one can take part in. In that you learn self control, self adjustment, acceptance and above you can control something as simple as hitting something hard without being arrested. And at the same time you learn humility. Not too many sports can pack that amount of ‘learning’ into a few hours. To walk 5 to 7 kilometers / miles chasing a small little ball.
One of the few games you can play alone and compete with yourself!
But to be fair, this is one, if not the only game that one can play, either on your own or with one to three other people, where you do not really compete with the other players - you compete with yourself - you try to play the best game YOU can and hopefully it is better than the other guy/girl has played against themselves. In this sometimes infuriating game, it is how you handle the stresses of being able to hit that (swear/swear) little ball in the direction you want it to go, as far as you would like it to go and then be able to hit another ‘shot’ at some flat piece of grass called a green (?????? Hello) and then play/putt it into that hole placed in some ridiculous placed position…. OK, OK now calm down…….. sigh, breath, breath....... !!!
These sound like all the ‘normal’ things people say about golf and 95% of the time, tongue in cheek. Well, is it really fair? NO not really.
