Can anyone tell me what in the world has happened to golf over the span of the last decade? I mean, it wasn't too long ago when I was playing the park course by myself and trying to sneak into the country club to play. Now, the park course is crammed full of people and I actually have to let people play through sometimes. There aren't a lot of funny pants and pink shirts anymore, either. It seems you're more likely to see the common golf fan wearing funny golf t-shirts and cargo pants. Without really noticing, it seems that the common-man golfer has wrestled the sport away from the jerks on the hill in the fancy houses...and we're probably better at it, too.
There has always been a touch of envy in my heart concerning the country club folks who hoard gold like it's something only rich people should be allowed to play. I have seen them in town occasionally, and I try to make conversation about the game. They seem to not really comprehend what I'm saying. I'm talking about golf, you idiots! We both love it, so why are you pretending like I don't deserve to play? I know just as much about that game as you do, jerk! I'm wearing funny golf t-shirts to the supermarket, for goodness' sake!
Since the beginning roots of the game in Scotland, people have taken golf way too seriously. I love winning just like anyone else, and I am constantly trying to improve my game. Just because I'm wearing funny golf t-shirts doesn't mean that I'm not a true fan of the sport. However, I really need you guys who obsess over every tiny aspect of the game to just stop. How are you going to have any fun at all? Laugh a little when you sink your ball into the sand trap. Who cares? Laugh it off, and enjoy the rest of your day!
Another thing that the common man is bringing to the golf course, is a healthy appetite for drinking. Just like everything else in golf, there are people who think that drinking anything but a mimosa on a golf course is completely taboo. Those people are idiots. There is nothing more fun for me than a relaxed round of golf, some friends in funny golf t-shirts, and a case of beer. Most golfers who play the game are, surprisingly, huge fans of golf. Weird, I know. People respect the course and keep their empty cans someplace to throw away later. Common folk are much more civilized than the upper crust gives them credit for.
Even if a course has dress codes, you can still have a lot of fun with your funny golf t-shirts. Most courses only require that you not wear shorts or jeans. That leaves plenty of wiggle room for your funny golf t-shirts. Whatever you need to do, just make sure you have plenty of fun. If you're not having a great time, then you're not playing golf the right way. If you find yourself angry, unhappy, irate, or sad at a golf course...then you're probably playing at a country club without realizing it.
