Golf is worth it

Before the second round of the Masters began, I found these 18 holes:

Hole

1. Gets you out of the house
2. Let’s you escape housework
3. Gets you away from family
4. Unites your outer & inner world

1. Experience humility, be humbled
2. Accept adversity, disappointments as core
3. Lose hubris
4. Realise you need more practice to become more skillful
5. Know you need lessons, and a good coach
6. There are times to shut up
7. Fresh air is good – whether it rains, shines or blows
8. . You need balls to play
9. . You can get the same result with different clubs
10. . Nothing is certain – and nothing is to be taken for granted
11. . There is wild life outside
12. . You can play alone or in company
13. . You will miss the hole, and you will have near misses
14. . You have to keep moving forward, even if only to keep away from people coming up behind – or let others through

19th hole

19. You need time to celebrate & commiserate- and treat others to pints
