Michael Jordan admits why he plays golf

In an interview with Golf Channel during this year’s Ryder Cup, Michael Jordan opened up about this topic. He said, “I kind of got into golf mainly because, from a competitive standpoint, to me, it is the hardest game to play. I can always respond to an opponent, a defensive guy, an offensive guy, whatever, but in golf, it’s like playing in a mirror.”

“And you’re battling yourself consistently to try to get perfection. Every swing, every putt. For a competitive person like me, this is what keeps me sane, you know, because when I walk away from the game of basketball, you know, that was enough to keep my competitive juices working,” he delved deeper into the topic.

He reveals what he does during his game, to prep himself. He said, “Now when I don’t have that game, this game, and it even drives me crazy then. Now I go fishing in between my golf because I got to show patience in fishing that’s going to be relative to golf.”

Everything he said was true, indeed. Can you tell us why you love the game of golf?
