American Artist Macklemore Talks About His Golf Obsession: ‘The Humility That the Game Brings, the Emotions, the Mental Fortitude That It Takes…’

It’s not always easy to pen down your thoughts, especially when it’s about something you’re exceptionally passionate about. However, some people have the gift of doing the same with ease. So, if you’ve ever tried to sum up your thoughts on golf and why you love the sport, Macklemore might be able to help.

Macklemore reveals his thoughts on golf

The 38-year-old is an American hip-hop rapper, songwriter, and also an avid golfer! His claim to fame was his song ‘thrift shop’, which topped the hot 100 charts without the backing of a major record label. However, his association with golf is a long one and there’s no denying it. Macklemore’s love for golf runs deep!

Ever since he first played, he has participated in two AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am events and boasts of a handicap of a low 11. February 2018 was his introduction to the sport, where he claimed he got ‘peer-pressured’ into playing a post-thanksgiving round.

On getting hooked to the sport and the feeling ever since that round, he said, “And I got that feeling. And I was like ‘oooh what is that? I want it again!’ The obsession has been here since.”

On another occasion, he perfectly described the game and said, “I love that feeling of hitting a great shot. I love hitting a green in reg, piping a drive, even just the ups and downs! The humility that the game brings, the swing of the emotions, the mental fortitude that it takes, the patience, the spiritual practice of accepting whatever you just did and letting it go. The exercise, the camaraderie. I truly love everything about the sport.”

Macklemore’s golf clothing line

So distinct is his love for sport and clothes, that he decided to open up his own clothing line! Yes, Bogey Boys is an apparel line inspired by the vintage and old-school fashion of golf. Once Macklemore started playing the game, he thought back to his childhood, when he would pick up trendy outfits from a thrift store. However, he found none of them in fashion today!

So, he decided to create his very own. Later, he said, “I thought if I’m gonna do that [play golf], I might as well be the prettiest dude on the course!”

What do you think of his genuine love for the game?
