Same reason anyone would be shy to play sports really. I’m great at quite a few sports. But naturally I have no confidence in the ones I have little to no experience with. You ARE right though! The only way to see if I even enjoy the game enough to become good at it, is to give it a shot to begin with! I think the best way for me to try will be to go with a friend! Trying something new with someone you trust and enjoy spending time with always makes trying new experiences a lot easier and way more fun than trying it alone!Why are you shy ? Go to a driving range, hit a few balls and see if you will like the game.
Tiger Woods started as an amateur and so can you. Good Luck
Thank you for the encouragement!
