Richard, Well done! Successfully explaining golf to non-golfers is a signal accomplishment! By the way, I spent several days with Chip last week and he told me many stories of his visit with you. I was quite envious! Best, TJ

Substitute the word ‘golf’ and any metaphor relating to the ‘sport of golf’ with cycling. Extrapolate that and there you have it. Every sportsperson can sympathise with this feeling, Richard. 👏🏻

Yes, quite right Tom! And I'm not sure it matters which rabbit hole we fall into - golf, cycling, fly-fishing. The point is the passion. You know this!!!

Finding the right passion that stirs the blood and body's chemicals is very much the point.

Friends who don't see the point of golf have their own mania/interest/hobby/love which I probably don't understand or share. That's cool...as long as we can make fun of the others' idiosyncrasies and remain friends.
