Seven Stages for Golf grief

lightrider · May 5, 2005

Coming to terms with the inadequacy and injustice of one's golf game is achieved through the Seven Stages of Golf Grief:

Shock: "I can’t believe I’m not getting any better at this game. My dream is to play better, consistent golf."

Denial: "Another crappy round. This isn’t happening to me, I’m gonna be better next round. My golf dreams will come true."

Bargaining: "Ok, if I’ll buy this new set of clubs and take a lot of expensive lessons then I’ll get better, right?"

Fear: "Oh no. what if I never get good at this game. What will my friends and family think?"

Anger: "I hate this game. With all the time and money I spend on golf I deserve to play better."

Depair: "I’m never going to be able to enjoy this game."

Acceptance: "This is as good as I’m ever gonna get. My golf dream is dead."
