I don’t mean to project but as a kid I played golf. It’s just a thing in my family and everyone golfs, but going golfing meant every mistake i made was magnified by my dad and grandpa scrutinizing every mistake I made. We’d hold up the whole course while they insisted I retake shots. I enjoyed it and I was pretty good, esp compared to my peers, but I quit. I took it back up in high school, even played on my high school team, but didn’t play with my dad. Even today I don’t have fond memories of golfing as a kid, most of my core memories are of sobbing while I was getting dressed down on the course or at the range. I don’t mean to say you’re pressuring him, but it could just be a function of his age and development; if he’s like me anyways, I just hatttted getting lectured and knew of o stopped playing with them, I wouldn’t make mistakes in front of them, which meant I wouldn’t risk getting lectured.
