I'm really surprised how many on here are like me and don't play the game.

My ex played golf quite a bit. Unfortunately, he did not have the temperament for it. The Latin thing. Broke a number of clubs.

Levi,we’re still too young to play golf...:LOL:

Or is it the parents of those watching to explain the the differences between the start athlete and the person they are otherwise?

I've played pretty much all my adult life, although I have not swung a club in anger (or any other state of mind) for over a year now. I was never very good, usually shooting in the high 90s and low 100s. But I almost always enjoyed playing thanks to three things: the company of others in my group, spending time outdoors, and beer.

These days i play pool in an APA league. It isn't outdoors but it checks the other boxes, and I am better at pool than I ever was at golf. That's a pretty low bar but my league ranking puts me just a tad above average while I never even bothered to maintain a formal handicap in golf.

well I can offer a slightly different perspective.
First I love the game. it provides a wonderful intellectual diversion and a good look in the mirror.
The great Bobby Jones once said, golf is a game played on the 5 inch fairway between the ears.
And speaking of Bobby Jones, the course he created is rather special.
especially when viewed firsthand.

^ Time to come clean!

Mark Twain said "Golf is a good walk spoiled". I play in Naples with a friend when we go down there for a couple of months. I rent clubs from the course as they take up too much room in the SUV. My bike goes down but not the clubs.

:wine:

Used to try to play mainly for business. Only game where you can play more and get worse.

A few beers and some friends is the only way. Otherwise, I can be frustrated and pissed without leaving home.

But if one has tried the game you can appreciate what the Pros do.

" they play a game which I am not familiar with" ( or something like that")
