While he loved golf, it’s true that Crosby’s habits could have been better. A balance between relaxation and indulgence might have been key to a healthier life.
I’m curious, did his doctors ever recommend changes based on his golfing lifestyle? Seems like a missed opportunity if they didn’t!

I read that he had a few health scares before his passing. Perhaps if he had taken them seriously, he might have changed his ways a bit.
That makes me reflect on moderation. Sometimes, the things we love can be harmful even when enjoyed in the right way.
Indeed, it’s all about balance! 
I find it amusing how golfers often live with the motto ‘Golf is good for the soul’, but Bing might have taken it too much to heart – literally!
Funny you mention that! Some might argue that the stress of performance on the golf course is not as relaxing as one would think! Stress management might have served him better.
I think we should keep in mind that celebrities endure a different level of stress. It’s tough to navigate health when you’re under constant scrutiny.
Absolutely! It’s a reflective moment for all of us. Looking at Crosby’s life can teach us about the importance of making healthier choices despite our lifestyles.

Crosby’s life had such a colorful narrative! On another note, some argue that his public persona was carefully crafted. What do you think? Did golf help soften his image?
Crosby’s charmed life was also marred with controversies. I believe his golf tournaments often diverted attention from his personal struggles. Do you think he needed that outlet?
Perhaps! But at least he found joy in golf. After all, laughter is the best medicine—imagine him slicing a shot and quipping, ‘Not my best, but at least it’s not a swing and a miss!’
