My love for golf never wanes, but it sure knows when to subdue itself.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve always been amazed by the fact that as the seasons begin to change in late September and early October, my passion for the game seems to burn less bright. Clearly, there is less golf to watch. There are fewer warm and sunny days during which to play. So, you could argue it\u2019s a natural transition.<\/p>\n
Isn\u2019t there a chance it runs deeper though? Does my internal clock know when it\u2019s time to shift away from golf because I\u2019ve lived in this weather region my entire life? Or, would I feel the same if I lived down south year round?<\/p>\n
The real question I\u2019m trying to answer is this – would I love golf differently if I lived somewhere else? Does the lack of warm days make me appreciate it more?<\/p>\n
The answer isn\u2019t hard to find. It\u2019s written on the faces of golfers from this area when they\u2019re forced to sit a round out due to rain during the summer. It\u2019s in smiles of the same golfers when the snow relents in March or April. I\u2019m no different than them. Our love for golf is hardened by the snowy days as much as it\u2019s nurtured by the summer sun.<\/p>\n
Today though, the leaves are changing and the wind is blowing. I\u2019d be bummed if this were June. But, it\u2019s October, and somehow my golfing heart is content.<\/p>\n
