前回は
 
上手な人ほどよい条件でショットが打て、
 
そうでない人ほど、前上がりだとか前下がり、
ラフ、バンカー、果ては裸地でショットを打つ
確率が増える
 
と書かせていただきましたが、
そんなことよりももっと恐ろしいのが
 
「ゴルフは人間性がさらけ出されてしまう」
 
という点ではないでしょうか？
 
何も隠しておらず、多くの素のままの人にとっては
何も怖いことではありません。
 
隠している一部の人にとってはということですから、
ゴルフをすること自体は大きな問題になりません。
 
が、
 
たいしたショットでもないのに
とびっきりの声で「ナイッショ～！」のニコニコ顔。
 
明らかにわざとっぽいミスショット、ミスパット。
 
ニコニコ接待なのに、何かあった時に
瞬間的に現れてしまう険しい表情。
 
自分の部下やゴルフ場スタッフへの言葉遣い・態度が
相手先に向けられるものと全然異なる。
 
つい出てしまう隠しておきたい癖
 
まあ、そんな漫画みたいなことはそうそうないにしろ
ゴルフは5,6時間も一緒に居ざるを得ず、
その間にいろんなシーンが発生しますので、
 
人間観察の鋭い人にとって相手を見抜くためには
ものすごく都合の良いアイテムだろうと思います。
 
ですので、古今東西、接待ゴルフというのは
相手を自分の都合の良いように誘導するため
というよりも、
 
接待される側が相手側を判断するために乗って
くることが多い手段なのかもしれません。
 
鋭い経営者主導の社内コンペにも
実はそういう狙いがあるのかもしれません。
 
鋭いつもりが、逆におべっかに乗ってしまって
という経営者もまたいるでしょうが。
 
ゴルフの好きな方、とにかく
腕前だけでなく人間性も磨きましょう。
 
えっ？
腕前はたいしたことないけど、
人間性には自信がある？
はい、もう何もいうことはありません。

The horror of golf II: His humanity revealed
Last time,
 
The better the player, the better the conditions under which they can hit the shot,
 
the less skilled the player, the more likely they are to hit the shot on an uphill or downhill surface, in the rough, in a bunker, or even on bare ground.
 
But there is something even more frightening than that,
 
“Golf exposes the true character of the golfer”
 
isn’t that the point?
 
There is nothing to hide and for many people who are just being themselves there is nothing to be scared of.
 
Playing golf in itself is not a big issue, just that it may be an issue for some people who have something to hide.
 
But,
 
Even though it wasn’t a particularly good shot, he shouted out “Good shot!” with a big smile on his face.
 
He makes obviously deliberate missed shots and putts.
 
Even though he is playing golf and entertaining business partners with a smile on his face, a grim expression appears at the slightest thing.
 
The language and attitude he uses towards his subordinates and golf course staff is completely different from how he uses it towards business partners.
 
His quirks that he wants to keep hidden
 
Well, it’s not like things like in comics happen very often, but in golf you have to be together for 5 or 6 hours, and during that time a lot of different scenes occur,
 
I think this would be an extremely useful item for people with keen observations of people to see through others.
 
So, throughout history and around the world, entertainment golf is not organized to steer the other person in a way that suits one’s own convenience, but rather may be a method often used by the person being entertained to judge the other person.
 
Therefore, throughout history, golfing to entertain business partners is not an event held to manipulate them to suit one’s own convenience.
 
but rather may often be a way used by the party being entertained to judge the other party.
 
In fact, this may be the aim of in-house competitions led by sharp management.
 
Although they held the event with that intention, there are probably some managers who were swayed by the flattery and their judgment was clouded.
 
If you love golf, you should not only hone your skills but also your humanity.
 
Huh?
Your skills aren’t that great, but you’re confident in your humanity?
Okay, there’s nothing more to say.
