Prompt #2

Golf. Some people love it, others hate it, and yet most people don't care. Most people say, "all you have to do is hit a motionless ball into a cup, what's so hard about that?" This question urks me because it is obvious to see that the person has never tried to hit a golf ball. If they did, they probably would start crying because they couldn't even hit the ball over 10 yards. (I would be laughing in the background.) Golf is truly a humbling sport, even one of the greatest athletes of our time, Michael Phelps, said that "Golf is the hardest sport I have ever tried." If you asked him he will also tell you that he as never been so frustrates in his life. So what makes this seemingly easy game so hard? Well, mostly because it's just you, your mind and your golf ball. Bobby Jones once said, "Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears." Everything is mental, in other sports, raw physical people dominate just because they have raw skill, but in golf your mind is the key to playing well. For this reason, I play golf because you have to test your patience and your mind to play well.
