I love golfing but I don’t play enough to actually get good at it.

Am I the only one who thinks it is stupid to come on this site to be told go to another site to see the meaning of a term(about.com explains the mulligan) why not just tell me the meaning.

Perhaps, this is why I only aspire to “bogey golf”. I am simply a recreational golfer, and breaking 90 is a good day for me! Ha!

You know…the first time I tried to hit a golf ball I completely missed. The second time…the club left my hands and narrowly missed the instructor’s head. I really have no idea how Woods does his thing…

Ah, the Masters, bringer of Spring Break and lots of traffic…but I have to admit, I can’t resist watching it on tv and at leasttrying to understand all the term…my dad never could explain why “birdie” and “bogey”…good to know!

hey, great little bit of golf trivia that is always good to hear about if you like the game. To Sarah, glad u found it interesting and if u like golf that would be expected. If u don’t, I’m not sure why u would have read the answer or responded. If u do play the game, what could “help you” would be to know that the bogey was considered “The ideal score a good player could be expected to make on a hole under perfect conditions”. I don’t know about you but that helps build my confidence a little, hope it does urs. Bogey golf is good golf!!!

I enjoy watching also. When they say “these guys are good” they are not kidding. I saw Tiger in person once. He stepped onto the tee of a dogleg par 5 and hit an incredible drive. It went straight out for 100 yards, started climbing like a rocket, turned left at the dogleg like it had eyes, and ended up in the middle of the fairway with a short iron shot to the green. That’s not golf. That’s magic. Unbelievable.
