Have you ever wondered why golf is so addictive? From the moment I pick up my first club, I knew that I would have a life long obsession with this fantastic, frustrating, enlightening, and gut-punching game. There never seems to be an end to the craziness that can happen on the links. Some times all of these up and down emotions happen during the same round.
