Competition at Your Level // by PAUL PIERCE , JR .
olf is unique in that it allows the everyday player to experience the
G game the way the pros do . Want to play from the back tees at Pebble Beach ? Or hit an approach into the 18th green at Bethpage Black ? You can . Golf gives us the unique opportunity to play on the same courses , and with the same equipment , as the best players in the world . We can ’ t experience that in any other sport we play .
I ’ ve certainly never had the opportunity to catch fly balls at
Wrigley Field , run routes at Lambeau , or grab a rebound at Madison Square Garden , but I do have a wish list of great championship courses I can play . Golf also allows us to compete as long as we can hit the ball off the first tee , with no age limit . It is the ultimate lifetime sport .
