Baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron

Baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron

It took me seventeen years to reach 3,000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course. – Hank Aaron

Golf can certainly be a humbling and frustrating game to play.

While Hank Aaron’s quote was an exaggeration, it can certainly feel like you’ve hit three thousand shots when you’re having a bad day on the golf course.

But never forget – your worst day golfing is better than your best day at work, even if your day job is playing baseball — a sport in which batting .300, meaning one fails 70 percent of the time, is still considered a great success.

Of course, a golfer’s ability to break par would be severely diminished if the ball were moving.

Both games require great skill to play well.
