Golf is a unique game, and, unlike most sports, every venue is very different. It’s not like basketball or football where even though you travel to a different city or part of the country, the court or field size is the exact same size and shape.
With so many varying conditions, weather, different grass types, different terrains (not to mention the clubhouse experience or food quality at public or private courses), golf becomes more than just playing a sport. It’s a total experience.
Your best experience might have been a certain buddy trip. It might have been the hole-in-one you made at your local course. It might have been meeting your future wife on the 18th hole at St. Andrews. Or, perhaps, watching your young son or daughter sink a long putt. Whatever it is, tell us about your best golf experience ever.

Well then, here’s my favorite golf experience. A few years ago I was lucky enough to play the Old Course at St. Andrews. I had just bogeyed the 17th hole ( aka the Road Hole) after being on the back fringe in two. I was a bit irritated and proceeded to pull my drive on the short par 4 18th way left, but the fairway is unimaginably wide so I still had an open shot into the green. My next swing was a bit fat and my ball wound up short of the green in the “valley of sin”. I had twenty yards or less to the pin; I flubbed my pitch shot and it almost rolled back off the green but somehow managed to stay up.
There were about 75-100 people watching players finish on the last green and here I was facing a 60 footer for par. When my putt wormed its way into the hole, the crowd burst into cheers- I tipped my cap like I had just won the Open Championship- a great memory for me.
