What is the psychology behind golf? What makes a person love it, excell at it, pursue it despite not being all that good at it?

Great question. As a former all-american and pro golfer, I have asked the question often Sally. I think the thrill of hitting a small white ball close to the pin...or sending it down the fairway with one swat of a club brings some sort of adrenaline high. One gets bit by the golf but...and BANG...All he/she can think of is playing again.

Doesn't falling in love have to do with a more rudimentary part of the brain and something called phrenomes... Each person has a specific scent which draws us to another.

Love came later. Survival came first. That is why our population has survived.
