It’s National Golf Month!
Celebrate the Sport by Passing It On IT’S NATIONAL GOLF MONTH!
The game Americans call golf originated in 15th-century Scotland when players started using bent sticks to smack pebbles across the local sand dunes. Its popularity exploded, and men soon became so enamored with the sport that in 1457, the Scottish parliament banned it.They claimed that playing golf was distracting young soldiers from their military duties as Scotland prepared for yet another showdown with England — proof that although we’ve come a long way from sticks and stones, the addictive nature of the game remains the same. If you’ve longed to visit the green all summer, August provides the perfect excuse. Known as National Golf Month, these 31 days practically demand that you pack up your clubs, pick out a new set of balls, and tee up at your local
course. Apart from swinging solo, one of the very best ways to celebrate is by bringing someone new along for a game. Driving ranges often take advantage of the month’s nickname and offer discounts and specials, so this is the perfect time to introduce a friend or colleague to the sport. Teach them the basics like scoring, stance, and how to steer clear of the sand bunkers and treat every divot, missed swing, and sunken lake shot as a learning experience rather than a mistake. According to Golf Monthly, there are a few foolproof steps you can take to help someone else fall in love with the game. First, bring them to a beautiful course and take them for a stroll that makes them want to stay for hours.Then, hit a few balls while they watch and follow up your demonstration by helping them try a few putts, pitches,
and chips at a short game area. Finally, ferry them to the range to test their newly acquired skills and encourage them to invest in a few lessons that will bring them up to par. If all else fails, remind your would-be protégé that according to legend, golf (played well or badly) can help tee a person up for immortality. In the 1700s, Dr. Benjamin Rush claimed that if a man golfed twice a week, he “would live 10 years the onger.”Who are we to disagree?
