I Think I’ll Try To Golf … Maybe

The world’s best golfers have convened in greater Washington, causing me to reflect on a personal mystery inside an enigma. Surely there must be others in the same position, wondering why they haven’t joined the legions on the links.
I don’t golf.
Not that it’s been a definitive, conscious decision. I just haven’t done it yet. But I want to try … I think.
Part of me is tired of being the odd man out, who can’t relate to friends and family talking about their chips, putts and drives. Part of me is envious of the way they lose themselves for hours on those beautiful golf courses.
But part of me is scared, too. Scared of a game that’s obviously maddening. Scared of its addictive nature and time demands. Scared of whom might get hurt — self included — if I ever start playing.
Thankfully, former pro golfer David Feherty is just the man to help me and other golfophobes.
