It’s all about Attention Span

A dopamine hit from social media. A quick scan of a text. And now a swing off a green mat at Topgolf rather than a full game. Isn’t it really about attention span? We now want a bite-sized thought rather than reading War and Peace. And 18 hole golf is hard. Tolstoy hard. Shots go awry. You miss a tickler putt. Then you have to re-compose yourself and concentrate, time and time again. Can you do this now in today’s accelerating society? Traditional golf is a great game. There is something wrong with our re-wired brain set to digital distractions. Try reading 1984, the whole book. Big Brother is watching and has changed us.
