Golf on Father’s Day; Some blasphemy

I love golf and have been playing since thirteen. I began playing with my father and I had many great times with him on the course. I now play with my son (who is terrible) and enjoy every minute of the time we spend together on the course.
However golf is not a religion nor does it nor should it define my life or my relationship with my son. If it does I am a failure as a person and a father. My father always told me to practice hard and never give up on the golf course but my performance was ultimately only a number and should never describe who I am. Of course I feel better when I play well but even if I shoot 110 my self esteem is still intact.
We all take the game much too seriously. Relax; enjoy it and no more club throwing please.
