Do you know why I like playing golf close to Thanksgiving in New England? I usually have the whole course to myself. I enjoy my round just a little bit more when I don’t feel rushed. Yep, this time of year, I can squeeze out 18 holes in about 5 hours.

Now I know what some of you are thinking, “Five hours? Are you crazy? What are you, a tortoise? With no one in front of me, I could finish a round way faster than that!”  Yep, I think you could. But if you find yourself alone, on a perfect day, on the golf course, at the end of the season, and you blow through your round in 3 hours…I have news for you: You’re an idiot.

 Why? When we set out to do something, must we do it in the fastest way? How can this possibly make sense for everything we do? I mean I understand haste(匆忙) when the situation requires it. Then how about this one: “What a beautiful day to be out on the golf course! There’s cool breeze, warm sun and it appears we’re the only group for several holes! Let’s play as fast as humanly（以人特有的方式） possible.” 

Sounds preposterous, right? See, that’s my thought exactly. Yet, there are many, many golfers who are off to the races the second they step foot on the first tee(球座) – like it’s a challenge to finish in record time. You know, they have a golf expression for that.

This is a game you love. You’ve been waiting all the week to play and spending a big sum of money on new golf balls. Then what are you rushing for? Look, no one likes to wait on every hole, but there’s a difference between waiting, slowing down and enjoying. Next time you’ve got a few holes open behind you, slow it down and enjoy – you’ll find 5 hours isn’t so bad after all.
