A strange sport

Golf is a strange sport. Probably it's necessary to practice it to understand the truthfullness of this sentence.
For a lot of amateurs players it is a strange game. Where you like to bet because you never know the result.
The blog "my Golf Round" is born to promote an open discussion about how we feel and think while we practice or play.
