If your passion for golf one day completely left you, what would fill that void?
This has been a question that I have thought of quite often and I personally do not have an answer. Golf is really the only hobby or sports activity that I am currently active in. I used to play men's league basketball in many different cities in my area. I also played in a lot of softball leagues. However, way back in 1999, I ruptured 2 vertebrae in my lower back and just kind of lost interest in both of those sports during the time it took for me to recover. I started playing golf for fun when I was 12. A bunch of my buddies and I thought it would be fun to try it. So we went to the local course and rented some clubs and began playing. I would play off and on until I was about 18. From 18 and on, basketball and softball took all my time. Once I was recovered enough to begin some activity, golf came back into my life and hasn't left. I have had many friends that played, suddenly leave the game, not to come back. I still have a passion to go out usually twice a week to play. Most of my rounds are at the same course I have been playing steadily for the last 6 years. Meeting fellow THPers over the last couple of years has kind of rekindled a fire in my game. However, to answer my own question, I have no clue. I have a wife and 4 kids. My kids are ages 20, 17, 14, and 12. None of them, or my wife care about golf. I guess I would sit in front of the TV and get fat.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
