Apart from our age, the only other thing we hate to see get higher is our golf score.
If you have played golf, you know that there is nothing more frustrating than always finishing last, as well having an ever-increasing handicap.
So why does this keep happening? There any number of reasons for your fall from grace.
But the first thing that most astute golfers take a good, long look at would be their golf swing.
The first clue could be when you are constantly smacking someone in the temple or redecorating someone's living room with your golf ball after it has shot through their window.
Apart from the embarrassment there's also the window repair costs to consider.
Exactly why has your golf swing become your Achilles heel? Your problem could be easily fixed by either putting on or taking off a glove.
Maybe it's your stance or the way you hold the golf club? Could it be the way your hips move upon striking the ball? Who knows? Perhaps your golfing woes may need to be discussed with a sports psychologist as there are some personal issues in your life.
Or could it possibly be a combination of all the above reasons? Maybe it just comes down to a bit of practice as you just have to get down to the driving range and work on your golf swing.
You could also go to Church and pray to the good Lord above for golfing salvation.
Whatever the reason for your lack of performance on the golf course, you should take a good look at the options available so that golf can become a walk in the park instead of a tough slog.
Just remember, even the best pros the world over go through slumps.
Like them, you too can overcome whatever obstacles are thrown your way out on the course.
So do not despair and be thankful for the chance to partake in this great sport.
