Can you become an addict at 85 and lead a healthy life? Addicted to what?
A substance? Drugs? Alcohol? What
else?
This is the story of a super senior
citizen (and many others like him!) ‘suffering’ from addiction of a different
kind. Addiction for good! Addiction for golf!
This super senior citizen, an
armed forces veteran, is so deeply addicted to golf that he plays even in
darkness. Don’t believe it? See the picture below shot in the darkness on a wintery
morning at Secunderabad India. Can you spot a ball and the golfer?
As the day dawns, the darkness
gives way to magical dawn and sometimes a misty morning with ground frost! Some
more pictures below.
Golf is such an addiction that
the golfers not only start the day with a round of golf but also dream, breathe
and live golf! Ask any golfer! There is a society called ‘Golf Addicts’ with
chapters around the world. Unlike ‘Alcoholic Anonymous’, the golf addicts
celebrate being an addict.
Ghumakkad is also a golfer. Our
earlier stories on golf have had wide readership. Links to some of the golf
stories from our blog are listed below. Just click to browse the picture stories.
So, to remain happy in life,
become an addict! Get addicted not to drugs or substance or alcohol, but to
something positive in life like golf or painting, music, dance or gardening! Follow your positive addiction with passion
and you will live a healthy life! Just like Col GB Sethi featured in the
story. Thanks Dr Sethi for your companionship, wit and humour on the golf
course and beyond.
Thank you for browsing.
Incidentally, this is Ghumakkad’s
600th story in our 12-year-old blog! It comes to you from a
moving train! Thanks for your continued readership and support.
