Funny Golf T-Shirts Make Me A Better Player
I was at my local golfing spot at the park last week, and something very profound dawned on me as I stood there at the tee with my driver in hand. This course is full of people, most of them wearing funny golf t-shirts like me, and none of them even close to be considered "rich" or "well off". The sport of golf was finally popular amongst more regular folks than people holed up in some private clubhouse, gloating to each other about how the only poor people around were the waiters. Golf is an everyman's game, and I'm proud that this day has finally arrived.
For years upon years as a shaved numbers off of my handicap and grew ever-more in love with the game of golf, I realized that I was really jealous of the private clubbers who got to play on immaculate courses that were tended by professionals every day. Even if I took off my funny golf t-shirts and put on their polo shirts, I would still never be welcomed in a place like that. This was definitely a case of the grass being greener on the other side...literally. What I didn't know until recently, is that I'm perfectly content with the courses available to me.
Speaking of funny golf t-shirts, I've found that your willingness to have fun and take the game less seriously is a clear indicator of the kind of person you are. There are some real jerks out there who take golfing way too seriously. Unless you're actually playing in a tournament for money, golf is just a game. If you're 53 years old and still angrily demanding absolute silence when you putt, then you may have a problem. You're 53 years old, man. The pros aren't knocking on your door anytime soon, okay?
Now that a "lesser class" of people in funny golf t-shirts are playing the game more often, it would be good to note that there is nothing you can do to stop us from bringing beer. There are lots of courses that prohibit drinking, but few really enforce it. I like to be good and buzzed by the time I get to the back half, and there's no harm in it. I don't litter and I'm a courteous drunk who likes to laugh. There's no better way to play the game, in my opinion.
I am such an enormous fan of the game of golf. I think that Tiger Woods' everyman attitude really helped scale the snobbiness back from it's height in the mid-90's. I'm glad that I can now wear my funny golf t-shirts on the course, smile, wave, and be generally accepted by everyone I meet. Who needs those rich clubs and private courses? I have the best kind of game here with the rest of the golf scrubs.
