People forget what the are trying to do when we play golf. Unfortunately, it is advertising that has fucked it up for everyone. You see, advertising tells us what we need. It replaces the experiences we rely on when we make decisions about us and the game we play. It takes away from the point of gaming by emphasizing what is not needed in order to sell more unnecessary crap.
Distance is only a part of the game. Clubs are also only a part of the game. What we are tryng to do in golf is put the ball in the hole in the least amount of strokes as possible and nobody cares how that is done, believe me! So next time you find yourself alone in the box, make sure your loose so you can smack the shit out of it. Hopefully it will be straight and true so you can put the next one right up there next to the pin for a kickin bird. And that's what were trying to do!

bowling
I'm not sure bowling gets enough credit. Every time I have ever seen people bowl, whether they are good at it or not, they always seem to have fun. There is laughing and joking around; there are those who take the game more seriously than others (very fun to watch), and there are those who bowl for the same reason others paint. You see, art can be found in everything. In bowling, the art is spinning the ball into the pocket so the pins crash into each other as they blast back into the pit with a thunderous crash. There is art in picking up the 6-10-7 or the 5-7 splits. Those who take bowling more seriously are fun to watch because they take pride in the game, which is all anybody can do in this life. Bowling creates friendships and builds bridges. It serves as an avenue where people can forget about their issues for a couple hours a week and enjoy the excitement and electricity of a sport with as much flavor as badmitten or snooker.
