My first golf swing ever was insanely good. Like, got it on the green, first try. My grandfather was really impressed... Until every swing after that. Never ever as good again.
That first swing, though, that was beautiful.
I had the same experience with bowling, lol. Everyone was like, wow! Okay, they might be good at this! (or something!)
I think I bowled a 220 on my very first game.
Never did it again. Like, at all. Like, I did worse than everyone else every time after, including the people who were objectively bad at it, lol.
Life is kinda BS sometimes. π€·
That's how the sport gets you. You have one great drive or chip or whatever, and you spend the rest of your round/season/life chasing that. Or maybe that's just my relationship with golf lol
Feels pretty accurate. I got my first ever birdie by just chipping it in maybe 8 months after I've started. I've never been below par on a hole again since.
First game of real golf I ever played I got a hole-in-one⦠on the wrong hole. The course wrapped back around next to itself, so when I shot wildly off course it just so happened to land in one of the later holes which was actually immediately adjacent. Still felt nice since everything else I was doing was way over par.
First hit is free!
Keep chasing that dragon. Fuck Bill W.
