1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,020 So I think 2 00:00:04,020 --> 00:00:06,020 the best thing about golf is just a 3 00:00:06,020 --> 00:00:08,590 commodity just being out there with 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:11,460 your friends and you can have , you can 5 00:00:11,460 --> 00:00:13,516 be playing horrible the whole game . 6 00:00:13,516 --> 00:00:15,740 You know , everybody hit goes straight 7 00:00:15,740 --> 00:00:17,851 into the woods , but you'll have that 8 00:00:17,851 --> 00:00:20,300 one hit and everybody just hypes you up 9 00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:22,366 like , oh my God , look at you . And 10 00:00:22,366 --> 00:00:24,366 you tell yourself like I'm the best 11 00:00:24,366 --> 00:00:26,643 golfer in the world , just off one hit . 12 00:00:26,643 --> 00:00:28,866 Even though you lost already seven mars 13 00:00:28,866 --> 00:00:31,088 and you should be doing horrible . That 14 00:00:31,088 --> 00:00:33,310 one hit . I feel like that's what keeps 15 00:00:33,310 --> 00:00:32,920 you know , that's what keeps me going 16 00:00:32,930 --> 00:00:35,660 every weekend to golf . 17 00:00:35,670 --> 00:00:39,560 I had no idea 18 00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:42,040 what golf was about before the Marine 19 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,762 Corps . I thought golf was the 20 00:00:43,762 --> 00:00:45,707 stupidest sport . I thought it was 21 00:00:45,707 --> 00:00:48,040 boring and I thought was for old people . 22 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,151 And then I met one of my good buddies 23 00:00:50,151 --> 00:00:52,410 sergeant radica . He uh , he's the kind 24 00:00:52,410 --> 00:00:54,577 of one day . He was like , hey , let's 25 00:00:54,577 --> 00:00:56,743 go , let's go play golf is about seven 26 00:00:56,743 --> 00:00:58,799 months ago . Go out there , I cannot 27 00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:00,910 hit a ball . The ball is right behind 28 00:01:00,910 --> 00:01:03,077 me is a foot away from me and with the 29 00:01:03,077 --> 00:01:05,188 club , I was not able to hit the ball 30 00:01:05,188 --> 00:01:07,410 from someone that seven months ago knew 31 00:01:07,410 --> 00:01:09,577 nothing about golf . Just fast forward 32 00:01:09,577 --> 00:01:11,799 seven months now I have more of a basic 33 00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:13,966 understanding . I realized that it's a 34 00:01:13,966 --> 00:01:16,243 sport that requires a lot of technique . 35 00:01:16,243 --> 00:01:18,299 Golf back in the States for a little 36 00:01:18,299 --> 00:01:20,466 bit , not nearly as much as I golf out 37 00:01:20,466 --> 00:01:23,320 here . You can get clubs really cheap . 38 00:01:23,330 --> 00:01:26,820 I know they can get upwards to $2000 39 00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:29,670 but I think my set was like for a full 40 00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:31,920 set , it was maybe 100 50 bucks as you 41 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,087 play more . You upgrade your clubs and 42 00:01:34,087 --> 00:01:36,410 stuff . But yeah , get a set , you can 43 00:01:36,410 --> 00:01:39,610 rent clubs here . So um , it's usually 44 00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:41,842 usually helps going with somebody who's 45 00:01:41,842 --> 00:01:44,176 played before , but even if you haven't , 46 00:01:44,176 --> 00:01:47,170 they got a starter there and if you 47 00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:49,337 don't have anything to do , you should 48 00:01:49,337 --> 00:01:51,392 definitely get out in golf . I think 49 00:01:51,392 --> 00:01:53,670 even people who have never gone before , 50 00:01:53,670 --> 00:01:55,726 I would love it , would enjoy a good 51 00:01:55,726 --> 00:01:57,948 group of friends and get outside and go 52 00:01:57,948 --> 00:02:01,030 for a little bit what makes golf in 53 00:02:01,030 --> 00:02:03,197 Okinawa unique , playing anti only the 54 00:02:03,197 --> 00:02:07,160 snake , a cross between us . And I was 55 00:02:07,170 --> 00:02:09,448 like I said , the community , the rain , 56 00:02:09,448 --> 00:02:11,559 the wildlife , the jungles that we're 57 00:02:11,559 --> 00:02:13,503 surrounded by . So that definitely 58 00:02:13,503 --> 00:02:15,670 makes it unique and it definitely adds 59 00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:17,970 a level of challenge . I feel like my 60 00:02:17,970 --> 00:02:20,620 experience with golf is not that I feel 61 00:02:20,620 --> 00:02:22,850 like it's like a bigger picture before 62 00:02:22,850 --> 00:02:25,072 I , I , you know , I started playing it 63 00:02:25,072 --> 00:02:27,294 because it's forward people . It's it's 64 00:02:27,294 --> 00:02:29,239 born , it sucks now it's one of my 65 00:02:29,239 --> 00:02:31,461 favorite favorite sports and it kind of 66 00:02:31,461 --> 00:02:33,683 taught me that's like , not because you 67 00:02:33,683 --> 00:02:35,850 have a perspective on something , it's 68 00:02:35,850 --> 00:02:37,961 the only perspective , you know , you 69 00:02:37,961 --> 00:02:37,930 should always give something to try . 70 00:02:37,940 --> 00:02:40,530 And that's something that I'm trying to 71 00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:42,641 change the mentality and everything I 72 00:02:42,641 --> 00:02:44,530 do , because now it's like , am I 73 00:02:44,530 --> 00:02:46,363 holding myself back from finding 74 00:02:46,363 --> 00:02:46,750 something else I love ?
