Young Child Sets The Record For Fastest To Get Frustrated By The Game Of Golf

A quote famously attributed to Mark Twain (but there’s some debate over whether he actually said it) sums up the game we have a love-hate relationship quite perfectly: “Golf is a good walk spoiled.” It’s more likely that the actual quote was, “To play golf is to spoil an otherwise enjoyable walk.”

Regardless of the wording, the sentiment is the same.

We have selective amnesia after a round where we remember and will tell tales of the great shots while leaving out the details of the rest of the day. We leave out the stories of extra swings and the occasional foot and hand wedge. The frustrations of the game are almost a rite of passage, and for one young golfer, he’s discovered the wide range of emotions at a young age:

 

It took this young fella a record three seconds to be “over” the game of golf. After two missed swings, it was a swat, three-foot wedges, and then a mighty heave to send the ball further down the backyard.

Hopefully, this youngster was able to sit back, relax, and enjoy a juice box and a cookie at the 19th hole following such a traumatic episode.

Chris has worked in sports journalism for nearly 20 years and also loves the game of golf, even though it often doesn't love him back. Year-round golf is a perk of living in Florida, where Chris moved from his native New York shortly after graduating from college. Chris has played some famous courses in the state, including Bay Hill in Orlando and Innisbrook in the Tampa Bay area, and next on his to-do list is the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass to take a crack at the famous island hole.
