Miles Fisher Instagram – Golf. I just love this game. It’s an endless challenge. It’s ancient. As global as a sport can be. And maddeningly fun. One bad shot can be exhaled away in a moment. One great shot yields satisfaction for days.
Every basketball court, football field, hockey rink, tennis court around the world is identical in proportions – built to spec. But no two golf courses in the world are alike, and the great ones are true miracles of nature, shaped by God’s hand over centuries of wind and water.
I’ve made lasting friends through this game in ever corner of the world. A four hour walk, talking about everything and nothing at the same time: phones kept off, laughs more heartfelt. This past year I played in Dubai, Texas, the Ozarks and Carolinas. The year ahead will bring me to Quebec, Northern Ireland, Arkansas and…who knows.
Golf manifests a philosophy to life that requires discipline, humor, and intuition just to make it through a round. Grip softer, swing faster, stay centered. Its clubs and customs remind us that many did it before and did it better. Yet the game continues to innovate, welcoming all stripes of folk, refusing to calcify in boring old ways. The game is alive. And maddeningly fun. And I love it. | Posted on 28/Mar/2022 06:36:05
