下集開始。

因為我常到海外球場打球，打過不少球場，很多球場的設計是很友善。這對一般球友來說是最適合。就算打歪了，也還好，不至於掉球，掉桿！這樣你才敢打，怕掉球就會越打越沒有信心。很多球友一開始打球都是朋友邀約或和球隊一起打。球場是無從選擇。同時選擇球場也多半在意價格，通常打到的球場就不會太友善。

偶爾打一些不同特性和設計特殊的球場是可以建立經驗值，但如果要增加自己的能力和下場的信心，打難度簡單和一般一點的球場是比較適合。當你的能力和球齡增加到一個程度後，你可以去享受不同球場的挑戰和難度。也就是說，球場難度的挑戰是要循序漸進。

太早去越級打怪，怪物打不死，自己信心和能力都整個滅頂，反而還打擊弱小心靈。看到特定的球桿就整個手抖。我還記得當初打球第一年，去打新淡水，整個烙賽。球場設計超變態。沒有坐車打根本沒辦法打完，球場上上下下的設計，很多球道看不到果嶺，球道也窄，不停的掉球。

後面就再也不去打那個球場。設計的動機就是要搞到大家不停東奔西跑的救球。雖然有球車，一樣搞得我東奔西跑。其他北部球場也是大同小異。所以也導致我喜歡去海外挑戰不同球場。因為台灣的球場設計超瞎。平地球場超少，打起來就天人交戰，難怪要不停補給滷蛋。

在國外，有不少輕鬆簡單的球場，可以不會掉球，雖然樂趣少，但後來想想，這不就是要讓球友建立信心的第一步嗎？而我也打那樣的球場，後面把距離拉長，打長的梯台，瞬間風雲變色，看到自己不少的短處。更可以試球桿。所以簡單說：球場難度選擇合理和適合自己目前能力最好。偶爾吃麻辣鍋是可以調劑身心，但不可過多！

I have been playing various golf courses in overseas and there are many golf courses with friendly design and wide fairway. You can play it like in driving range without hesitation to full power swing. Although it's not challenge but for average golfers and newcomers that's the best way to let them enjoy the golf when their swing is not consistent.

Lots of golfers play golf with their peers or golf groups. For such situation, you can not design which golf courses you like to play. Most of time the golf courses are not fit your skills and is damaged your metal for golf. Or considering the cost, some golf courses are not friendly design for average golfers. Therefore, to pick the right golf courses for your skill is critical instead of playing challenged courses for killing your confidence.

I recalled I played a golf course with my first year of golf that is so bad. The main issue is the course design is not reasonable and friendly at all. All the fairways are on the downhill or uphill without seeing the green. There are many hazards, bunkers and trees, it was the worst play I have ever had in my golf life. I lose many balls in that time so I haven't had chance to play again.

I do believe playing the right course design is the key for golfers to continue the sport. It's better not to touch difficult golf courses that would damage your golf skills and strategy. Even professional golfers do not play such hard courses all the time. You need to love to play as the fundamental for golf then you can go further and longer.
