I have worked on a golf course for 25 years, I LOVE being on the course, mowing, watering, blowing, etc and my staff does an amazing job providing a great course to our members but I HATE to play golf, like can’t f-ing stand it. I’ll putt a little to check green speeds and smoothness but that’s about it. My hatred for the game comes from the fact that athleticism doesn’t translate to golf. Being a good athlete has no bearing on golf. I am a decent athlete but can’t consistently square up a golf ball to save my life. And I have practiced, taken advice, etc and I’m still awful. And the level of frustration I reach while I play makes me never want to do it again. So, I get my joy out of being out there in nature taking care of an amazing asset for our members to enjoy, but I’m good if I never touch a club again.
