Golf Imperfection is Closer Than You Think
No. 1 - Ditch Practice Entirely
If you can’t master a skill by simply showing up on the first tee unprepared, is it even worth it? Let muscle memory fade away like a bad dream. After all, practice is the enemy of a good excuse.
No. 2 - Skip the Warm-Up
Why waste precious minutes stretching or rolling a few putts? With your game, maybe think about rolling something else. You will probably need some by hole #6. Show up late, hustle to the tee, and swing for the fences.
No. 3 - Double Your Calorie Intake
Set the 19th-hole snack bar on speed dial. Embrace chili dogs, fries, and donuts like they’re performance enhancers. You're doing it wrong if you’re not breaking a sweat just from breathing.
No. 4 - Igore the Club Pro
You’ve been golfing for decades—clearly, you’re the expert here. Teaching professionals? Overrated. Why cure your slice when it is your signature shot?
No. 5 - Hammer Every Drive
Keep telling yourself that swinging harder automatically sends the ball farther. A balanced tempo is completely overhyped. Let your back scream as your ball wanders off to who-knows-where. Don’t worry—eventually, you’ll tag that bad boy, and it will sail 300 yards straight down the centre of the fairway.
No. 6 - Over-complicate your Mental Game
Dive into conflicting sports psychology articles, memorize a dozen swing styles, and psychoanalyze every bad shot. There’s no such thing as too many swing thoughts—pack your head so full that you forget which end of the club to hold.
No. 7 - Go Pin-Hunting on Every Shot
Forget course management—aim straight at the flag, every time. Safe shots? Those are for the faint-hearted. Load up, swing for glory, and trust that your ball finds the green… eventually. If you miss, just blame the wind.
No. 8 - Ignore Course Etiquette
Take your time out there— you’re in heaven, on a golf course. Pace-of-play is overrated. Carefully consider club selection on every shot and study your putts from every angle. After all, you’ve been playing for decades—you clearly know what you’re doing. Let the rest of the course admire your leisurely mastery, one slow hole at a time.
No. 9 - No Exercise - Your A Natural Athlete
If you suddenly feel limber or strong, you might accidentally lower your handicap. Keep it old-school—no stretching or weight training. Aches and pains build character. Remember, YouTube stretching videos are for the overly ambitious. Avoid them at all costs.
No.10 - Pay Attention to Swing Advice from Friends and Casual Golfers—and Keep Watching Those "How-To" Videos
Encourage everyone you play with to weigh in on how you should fix your swing—because more voices means more brilliance. Pile on conflicting YouTube tutorials for added confusion. Before you know it, your one-of-a-kind swing will be the talk of the course—for better or worse.
