On Becoming the Golf Lush...
That’s me - taken right at the peak of my growing intoxication with golf at the very first golf course I golfed at (shout out to my Honey - Osha, for taking this photo). When I found golf, or when it found me, was by pure happenstance. My best friend, Matt, casually asked me in the height of the pandemic when there was literally NOTHING to do, did I want to go to the driving range? I jumped at the chance and have continuously been jumping at the chance to do ANYTHING golf related ever since. Since that first day… I’ve:
Golfed in the Snow
Golfed in 90+ degree heat – Yep
Golfed in the Rain – Check
Golfed in a straight up downpour w/ a pinch of thunder in the distance (stupid) – umhm!
Upgraded all my clubs to a killer set regardless of the cost – Yesss
Hired a dope ass coach and furiously clawed my way to better scores, Shot out to RJ - Still doing this one
Gifted my starter set to the homie – Yeap
Traveled out of state to play with friends – loved it (Shot out to Lershaun & Matt)
Used my dog as a ball retriever – Penelope is great (she loves golf too)
Oh – seriously researched golf tattoos – definitely, but I haven’t pulled the trigger on that one
_______ - probably a yes
You get my point here – I had no idea I would LOVE golf the way I do. I was and still very much am a straight up Golf Lush. I mean I am unapologetically Golf Lushy. So, Golf Lush was born and I created FöR (more about that in the next post). But a Golf Lush is – “A lover of all things golf, transcending mere player status. A Golf Lush breathes, eats, and maybe even dreams golf (a little), their thoughts constantly swirling around the game's intricacies. Their devotion to the game goes beyond skill level. Whether a pro or a fanatic amateur, a Golf Lush exudes an infectious love for the sport, forever chasing that perfect swing and reveling beauty of the game.”
I mean – if you know you know. & I KNOW – it’s a lot of us out here.
I see ya’ll at the Range, on the Fairway, in Dick’s Sporting Goods, Golf Galaxy, taking all the good tee times on the weekends, on TikTok & IG getting your whole ass Golf Lush thing on… I’m right there with you. Truly. I. Get. It.
Arnold Palmer said it best:
"Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated; it satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening – and it is without a doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented."
All Facts…
With Love,
Golf Lush
