I feel like everyone (especially the boys) is developing a golf addiction. Since there is a lack of things to do since the pandemic hit, I decided I would try golf. I didn't start out with 18 holes, my first day on the green was spent at the driving range. I went through buckets of balls trying really hard to perfect my swing. These were the thoughts I had during the process.
Is this like Top Golf?
I've visited Top Golf many times in the past. Essentially a glorified driving range. The difference is that Top Golf is easy and fun. You sit around with your friends and when it's your turn you swing for the targets. Not so much the same with the regular driving range.
Does my golf outfit look stupid?
I came to the range decked out in my best golf outfit. A pleated white golf skirt and a maroon tank top. Too bad I didn't have a visor or a Titleist hat. I'm pretty sure anyone who saw my outfit only thought I was there to take Instagram pictures.
How am I supposed to swing?
Boy did I struggle with this one. So. Many. Questions.
Do I look at the ball or not?
How do I hold the club?
Do I follow through with my swing?
Do I move my feet or keep them on the ground?
Needless to say I will be perfecting my swing for a while.
Can my old batting glove suffice as a golf glove?
This one I can answer myself.
No, batting gloves will not suffice. I still got blisters.
