Just got the paperback in! I appreciate the way you started the book Jon.
My enjoyment of the game has suffered the better I have gotten (seems like it would be the opposite) because of unrealistic expectations and just not knowing that golf will just be that way. I played a tournament awhile back and shot a 90 the first day. I have only been playing for 4+ years and I literally could not remember the last time I shot a 90. I was disgusted! The next day I shot a 78 with a triple bogey on #18. Holes 8-12 I had 4 birdies in 5 holes! Ended up 3rd place.
Golf will drive you crazy if you let it and my first order of business is to NOT LET IT do that to me. Just knowing this aspect of this wonderful game can shift the fun factor in a more positive direction.
Thanks for writing the book Jon!
