Golf is Far Away From Me!
The article just now I read talks about golf class and golf college. Actually, there are also classes concerned with golf in our University, for I am in the Beijing Sports University. And I also remenber one of my foreign teachers once taught us something about golf when we were in our sophomore year: what that equipment is called, how to play it, different clubs one golfer needs to use in different situations, what the golf course looks like, etc. I should say I indeed know golf. However, I still feel that I am far away from that sport. I can not say that I will never have opportunity to get in touch with this sport, but I think presently the chance for me to step into the golf world is slim.
First, it is still a sport played by the few elite in China. Ordinary people would not turn to golf when they think they need some exercises.Second, in my mind, golf is more like a “meeting” than a sport, should I say golf is not a sheer sport. CEOs from big companies, tailed by two or three employees, are swinging their clubs on the golf course. At the same time, they are dealing with some confidential business. The golf course is simply another secret office for him.
Stereotype, prejudice, yes, maybe. I think I have watched too many films in which all the bad deeds were conspirated on the golf course. -_- ! Of course, I am not here to pour my naive opinions on golf. Surely I hope it will be a promising field. Two of my friends swerved respectively from English major and Management major to golf. I respect their choices and admire their bravery. I hope that golf can lead them to wealth and happiness.
