Late comedy icon Robin Williams once joked that they called it a “stroke” in golf because that’s what golfers thought they were having when they missed a shot.
Williams was not far off.
As someone who has been infected with the golf bug for most of the last few years, particularly since the pandemic began, I can attest. Golf is the best game and worst game. The most fun and the most stupid. The most rewarding and most thankless. The best use of five hours on a Saturday and the biggest waste of time (and money) I can think of.
