Times like this produce some weird thoughts. One of the thoughts we all have right now is an assessment of our priorities, what is important in life and what is not. Since you are a golfer, you have to be asking “does golf make sense for me at this moment in my life?” Some of us will say “No, there are other things that are more important in my life than golf right now.” That may be the right decision for you, but before you make that decision, let me give you my two cents worth of advice.
What do you do that gets your mind off bad stuff? If it’s golf, it may be a big mistake to give it up. If ever we need activities to help us lighten up it’s probably now. Dwelling on many of the things happening is not all that productive because most of it is something we cannot control and fixating on it is downright unhealthy. Walter Hagen has thoughts on this that we have included in this issue of the Times.
Golf can be either a very expensive activity or a very inexpensive one, it’s up to you. There are some fine golf courses that are so reasonable to play it’s a joke and most of these have offers that make them even more reasonable. You cannot assume these deals will go away during times like this, but if you want to spend $150,000 to join a golf club, they are still around to take your money. It’s up to you.
You can spend a ton of money on balls and equipment if you choose, but there are some truly great golf balls for $15-20 a dozen. There are also used clubs on the market for not much money at all that are only a year or two old and are phenomenal clubs.
What about this winter when you cannot play and do not want to travel? Our range is open all year and being outside hitting balls from our heated tees is invigorating and can clear your head. If you want to do this be sure to use our range debit card that always saves you between 20%- 35% depending on how many balls you purchase at a time.
That’s my two cents worth of advice and it is worth every penny.
