Golf is, by nature, a selfish sport. You are, in all but a few instances, out on the golf course alone, battling for number one. You will have playing partners, but you play your own golf ball, have your own objectives and experience your own successes and failures.
I like the personal challenge, being in charge of my own destiny. One problem though, as I have learned from years of golfing, is that nobody else cares about your game or your score.
