Because let's face it, whatever we say in the bar, we play golf to win. And most of us don't. Golf makes us angry. Golf is frustrating. Golf is often cold and wet.
Golf can be embarrassing.
Golf costs us too much money. Golf takes up too much of our time. Nothing excites the passion of golfers like golf stories shared with fellow golfers. Nothing bores non-golfers like golf stories shared between fellow golfers. Either you're part of it or you're not.
