Golf is a complicated game with a lot of moving parts. Getting it right is hard. Getting it right consistently is even harder. But when it does all connect, even just once, it’s magical. It keeps you coming back to the game time and time again. It’s a connection not just between club and ball, but between mind and body, friend and stranger, camaraderie and competition. It’s a connection with a sport that’s shared all over the world. One that can last a lifetime, one we feel quite passionately about, and one we hope to foster in every player we meet. Embrace the learning process, and above all, enjoy the journey ahead.
