How Golf Impacts The Lives Of Those In The Sport World

It is common practice for college football coaches to enjoy golf and take the game seriously, but Steven Spurrier takes his game very seriously. In the 30 years of coaching college football, Steven has never lost a golf game to one of his players. This piece from ESPN takes a look at the many people inside of the sports world, and the impact golf has had on their lives.

Of course, opportunities to hit the tees at all are getting harder to come by for coaches. The recruiting calendar has grown more cumbersome, the demands of the job more strenuous, and the number of coaches regularly playing golf has diminished as a result. Even Spurrier, the elder statesmen of the coaching ranks on both the football field and the golf course, doesn't get out quite as much as he used to. By the end of July, his clubs are already gathering dust.
