In May 2025, many of us have decided to participate in the 30-Day Golf Coach4aday Challenge. Each day the goal is to share something about a particular golf course, golf equipment, or to actually get on the course and play a few holes. Golf is the only sport where you can be furious, humbled, and ecstatic—all in the span of one hole, and still call it “relaxing.” It’s a game where you are cajoling and chasing a tiny ball into a gopher hole. For many it becomes a lifelong obsession and an excuse to buy outrageous pants and the latest driver.
Today my golf observation is on golf shots involving ROCKS.
This challenge will not be for everybody but there are plenty that enjoy the game despite not being anywhere close to playing at a high level. That includes me.
Golf 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to getting out on the golf course—but if that’s not in the cards, share a story about a favorite course or a piece of gear you love (or love to hate).
- Record something about your day on the course or talk about a golf course or piece of equipment.
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
Day 28-Rocks
When a golf ball is struck by a player the goal is to have it land on grass. Golf courses are not all green they often have paved cart paths, brick walls, and of course rocks of all sizes.
My home course does not have any sizable boulders or stones but in many parts of the world granite hazards are quite prevalent. When your ball hits one of these hard surfaces especially a rock crazy bounces can take place. In fact, the first eagle I ever got was because my tee shot at Maggie Valley Club hit a cart path and then a rock and was propelled over 100 yards further down the fairway on a par 5.
Sometimes a bounce off a rock on golf course can be quite fortunate. Here is a YouTube video that highlights some of the best.
