2 reasons. At the range, I have a few great friends, we joke around, have a few laughs, then complain about our swings..lol

On the course, I normally play with my Son, as I can't see past about 120 yds, so he's my eyes, for shots longer than that, plus we have a great time. We've always done stuff together since he was about 6 yrs old, when I taught him to surf, then it was racing bicycles, then motorcycles, then golf. He has kids of his own, we both encourage them to play.

Plus on course, I tend to forget all the crummy things in life, it's just cool being out there.

Whatever is happening in life goes away for 4 hours (hopefully not 5-6) once you tee up on the first hole.

Playing a game outdoors with beautiful scenery is a joy.  So is meeting new people with the same interest.

This. [quote name="boogielicious" url="/t/79148/therapeutic-golf#post_1093522"]Playing a game outdoors with beautiful scenery is a joy.  So is meeting new people with the same interest. [/quote]And this. Although I have met some people on rare occasions who made my rounds rather unpleasant, so I guess less of the latter. Golf itself and practicing is not therapeutic to me, but being outside and enjoying the scenery, the weather, escaping the trappings of life, etc., are.

Well, the physical rewards are pretty obvious. Exercise is always a good thing, and walking a few miles on a golf course, in the fresh air,  will keep one healthier than one who is a couch potato.

I can also mentally relax while out there. Just out doing something I like to do.  I either play to great score or I don't. Just me, and my tools against Ma Nature, and the golf course. No worries what so ever.

Meeting up with new, and/or  old friends is a social up lift. Playing with good, or poor players makes no difference to me. Anyone can provide entertainment for others, which, over all is how I look at the game of golf. Just healthy entertainment practicing/playing 10 -15 hours a week. :beer:

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
