Golf. Golf? Golf! The more you say it the stupider it sounds. And in my case the more you do it the stupider it gets! I like being on the course, the fresh cut grass, nature all around you, the fun little carts you get to drive and all that is what really makes golf enjoyable to me. I don’t golf often, but when I do… I suck.
True Story.
Now here’s the fun kicker, every now and then I have to golf for an event with work. I’m not sure if there is just too much golfing ‘lubricant’ in my team mates or if I just portray confidence on the course, but when I get back to the office a rumor follows me. I hear it in the hallways and it’s even been said straight to my face.
“Nic’s a good golfer.”
I says pardon?
Yeah for some reason everyone thinks I’m good at golf. A good person would correct those co-workers and poor misguided souls. I like to ride that wave a little bit though. You see when people think you’re good at something they start asking for advice. And that’s where this all gets very interesting.
I like to make stuff up. For Example:
When you tee-off point your front foot in the same direction you want the ball to go. Trust me, it works every time. Your feet should be in a “T” shape. Why do you think they call it tee-ing off!?
or
If you find you’re hooking your shot try reversing your grip. Yes I know it feels like you want to shoot in the opposite direction but trust me. I’m good at this right? Your shot will be so much straighter.
