Bubbe’s Words of Wisdom: Life and Golf Lessons from Jewish Grandmothers

If you think your swing coach is tough, try playing a round with Bubbe. She’ll tell you to stand up straight, wear sunscreen, and for heaven’s sake, drink some water! Bubbe’s wisdom isn’t just for Shabbat or holiday dinners—it’s for the golf course, too.

Jewish grandmothers have a saying for every situation, and most of them apply to golf: “Patience, darling,” “Don’t rush,” and “Remember, it’s just a game.” And if all else fails, she’ll remind you, “At least you’re outside getting fresh air.”

So next time you’re frustrated on the fairway, channel your inner Bubbe. Her advice might not fix your slice, but it’ll make the round a lot sweeter. Bubbe for the win!!
