Attempting My First Golf
I’m pretty sure that’s not what it’s called, but that’s what I’m calling it. Tomorrow afternoon, I will attempt my first golf. I am going golfing so I will be a golfing golfer who golfs. Or something like that.
Aside from putt-putt, at which I am amazing (don’t ask for references), I have only hit a golf ball once. Fun fact: When I was young, my daycare provider used to watch The Price is Right every day, so I had a dream to hit the golf ball with Bob Barker – if I didn’t get to play Plinko or Cliffhangers first.
My friend Chris once took me to a driving range. It was a disaster. I was so bad at it that it made me angry. I’m usually a good sport, but something about being especially bad at a sport made me… well… a bad sport. I distinctly remember smashing the golf club against the ground. 😬😬😬
Even though I still have no clue what I’m doing, I’m going to be a much better sport tomorrow and come in with a positive attitude. I’m not expecting to be a pro golfer overnight, but I’m setting my expectations low and being realistic about how I’m about to golf for 9 holes with 0 experience. Wish me luck!
Have you ever golfed? Any tips for a first-timer? What did you wear for your first golf outing? How did you play?
