Golf

If I have to be honest, I didn't have any interest in playing golf at first, just that my father played golf for a long time, as well as my grandfather. It was like an activity that somehow got included in our family tradition.

My brother and I started learning golf in 2021. I remember stepping inside a ginormous building with green-colored nets all around, and golf balls flying everywhere. There were stations and floors, and I checked in the one station that was in the middle of a long line of stations on the second floor. I didn't own a golf club, so I borrowed one from the place and started hitting as hard as I could to make the ball fly as far as it could go. If I had to estimate what the balls' distances were, I'd say about 30 meters. I felt frustrated every time I grabbed another golf ball, and hit as hard as I could, yet it didn't go any further than that. But then a trainer walked in front of me and said, "Nice try, but that's not how you do it." I smiled awkwardly, as the trainer greeted my mother and they talked about my schedule and how long we wanted to program to be, it was a lot of work.

I started going there almost every day during summer, then I had to pause for an I-don't-know-reason. Or I just don't remember. My mother influenced me to start playing golf again, so we signed up to a golf place right in front of our apartment, and since 2023 summer, I have been going there ever since.

He taught me how I shouldn't speed up while I have my golf club going upwards, and let my golf club's weight control the speed of it swinging to hit the ball, and after it hits the ball. It was pretty difficult to remember every comment the trainer said, and how I should be fixing my posture, but I got to do it eventually.
