The joy of playing on your own!

It has been a long time, ten years to be exact. Only 9 holes but it felt like a totally new experience. Golf really is a solitary sport, and as I played this morning it became obvious that I had forgotten this over the last decade. Being on my own gave me the time to focus on my game, rather than participate in chit chat or coaching a pupil around the course. At first it felt a little selfish but as the holes went by I remembered more and more the joys of playing on my own.

In a team sport there is a sense of responsibility to your teamates, which is very different to golf. You only have yourself to blame for playing poorly, but in a more positive view, you can soley congratulate you yourself for excelling.

i am a firm believer that golfers play golf for many different reasons, wether it be for the exercise , challenge or the company. And I have rediscovered the joys I felt playing golf as a junior. So go back to a time you remember having fun and recreate the experiance!
