Golf is a terrible sport for overachievers.
Why?
Because when you’re starting off, you’re naturally going to be bad at it.
And in golf there is an abundance of time for contemplating how bad you are.
The average 18 holes takes 3 hours.
That’s 3 hours of feeling sub par.
Compare that to team sports where you share responsibility or a game that is constantly flowing so there’s not that much time to ruminate on your incompetence.
