A couple of years ago, the concept of hitting a small ball as far as you can in a big lawn, running after it so that you can hit it some more and put it in this small hole with a flag and doin this with less strokes as possible is just plain stupid. Golf, i mean, it's was just pointless. Until one day two weeks ago, when i decided to give it another whirl (When i was growing up, my Father enrolled us to golf school thinking that when we come into the right age, he'd have some one to play with besides his buddies). For some reason, my point of view on the game of Golf changed. I mean, from being a boring sport for old geezers who ain't got shit to do, into a calming and relaxing game you can trip with. I mean when i used to go with my Father in the fairway and watch him play, after a few holes i tend to just go back in the club house because of being bored to my skull and chill in one of their libraries with a question "why does he play this game when it's so pointless". Now that i'm the one in the fairway hitting a small ball and chasing after it and then hitting it some more and putting in a small hole, i understand now why he plays this game. I see the point now.. It's not because it's classy, it's not because it's easy.. but because it's hard and at the same time you get to chill. Chill, maybe because of the trees and shit and it's just plain peaceful. Hard, because how the hell are you supposed to hit the ball properly so that it would fly straight or to the left or to the right. you know what i mean?! Anyway.. A couple of years ago.. i'd be saying golf is stupid. Now i'm proud to say that i play golf, i like the game of Golf and therefore due to those statements i am a golfer..
