As a hobby, one can enjoy many things of golf. People start to learn golf for different reasons. My reason was simple.

For a long time, I like Badminton and played that regularly with a group of friends for many years, and even got some medals (except gold) in small competitions. Sometimes I took my son to the badminton court and he also wanted to try. One day a friend played a little bit with my son (10 years' old), and suggested that I should send the boy to a badminton club for training. Three years later, I played one set (15 points, old rule) with him, and did not get a single point! It was a mixed feeling (I'm too old for badminton), and I decided to learn some sport that one can enjoy whole life. That is golf!

In fact, my son started to learn golf before me. But since he has been focused on badminton in his free time, he only plays a few rounds golf per years, and now his offical handicap is 22 (I'm better than him in golf, haha!). Importantly, it is really nice to play two gneration golf. One summer, we joined a best ball competition and played against an old couple. It was obvious that the old couple were very experienced, one of them played well when the other did not. In contrast, my son and I played well for some same holes, and bad for other holes. We lost, but we had a lots of fun with the old couple.
