Golfing!

The only time I got  closest to golf was I taking a golf cart from point A to point B. 

Playing the game was never on my mind. 

Yes! The only popular player from the Game I had heard about was Tiger Woods for the game and his controversies, while flipping the channels on the remote. 

So, during our visit to Goa, for a friends engagement. We had the opportunity to learn about the game from scratch and also play a few strokes. 

The first time we were handed over the clubs, the stance and the hold and swing were like cricket for me, but the instructor taught us it’s nothing like cricket, the holding of the clubs need to be done in a particular way, just like gripping the bat, but here the force and the strength needed is not that much compared to cricket. 

Here the challenge is to get the golf ball in the holes in minimum chances, which could be 3-5 strokes, strokes known as Par in the game of Golf.  

The whole experience during the hour of the game was fun, and here in Golf you learn you don’t need to be physically strong, but mentally have the patience to play the ball.
