It’s not unusual to walk off the golf course with questions swirling in your head.
- Why is this game so hard?
- Why can’t I play any better?
- Why do I love it so much?
Yeah, golf is like that. Complicated. Frustrating. Habit-forming.
In some ways, being a golfer is to relive one’s youth. So much to learn. So many questions.
Why should I keep my left arm straight and my head down? You might as well ask what makes the sky blue and the grass green. What’s the secret to hitting a flop shot? Ha! Reminds us of the teenager’s timeless query, How do you talk to girls?
Golf invites more online golf questions than a congressional hearing. Some pop up during rounds: Why did I slice that shot? What club should I use for this chip? How can I make solid contact with the ball in this divot?
The game tends to linger in the mind, too. A golfer can be in the middle of a meeting, eating dinner or watching TV when suddenly, he finds himself asking things like, How can I break out of my slump? Should I try a different putting grip? Would I hit the ball straighter if I shortened my backswing?
We’ve asked all those online golf questions ourselves. And many, many more. The difference between our experts and the everyday golfer? Our experts know the answers.
