My swing is no good…

So what?

But I’m worried I’ll hit the ball into the trees

So what?

But I’ll make a bad score.

So what?

I’ll look stupid to my mates.

So what?

And my handicap will go out.

So what?

And I won’t feel too good.

So what?

But I want to play well.

So what?

But I just want to shoot a good score.

So what?

I suppose I should just go play …

Either you’ve got the courage to tee your ball and whack the shit out of it or you don’t. If you can’t play like there’s no tomorrow then no amount of lessons, new clubs and practice time is going to help you.

If you can’t get past the “so what?” then you might be better off with tennis or lawn bowls.
