What's your experience with golf?
I personally find it tedious
shareI know enough about it, to hate it.
Signed, million man.
Miniature golf is more fun :) The rules are a little more relaxed, the clubs, balls, and courses are colorful and often have interesting themes (like pirates, movies, or fantasy); the course has fun puzzles to solve with the golf balls, and it's suitable for all ages.
shareI used to watch the four majors (U.S. Open, Brinish Open, Masters, PGA Championship) but the last couple years I seem to have lost interest. I've only played three or four times in my life, I'm no good at it, but found it enjoyable to walk the course.
shareI played a lot of golf in my youth but mid 80's was the best I could manage for 18 holes with my unorthodox swing. I loved it, especially out in the country on weekdays where the courses weren't crowded. Beautiful day, beautiful surroundings !
I once hit a golf pro who was giving lessons in the head. That was the end of my lesson.
shareI tried it a couple times and enjoyed the guy banter and sunny greens but I was pretty awful at it.
It’s not for me but I do find good golfers very impressive.
I love it...but it's the most frustrating game in the world. I've been struggling with hitting these "snap hooks," so I hit a large bucket of balls at the driving range this afternoon. I still didn't hit them very well (i.e., not how I'm capable), so I went out in the backyard this evening and I think I finally pinpointed my problem...I was bending my right arm (I'm left-handed, so it's my "lead arm") during my backswing, so I hit a few crab apples into my son's soccer net and hit them solid, so I think I'm back on track now. I've played for over 30 years now and I still struggle with just putting together a halfway decent golf swing at times. 😡
shareI know a very good amateur weekend golfer who loves it and says it’s one of the most frustrating games/sports you can try but he still plays as often as possible.
It’s not for everybody, I’d rather be on a lake fishing.
Yes...if I had to do it all over again, I'd have taken lessons a lot sooner and paid a lot more attention to technique. The problem is that you can't swing a golf club like a robot...you have to find a "feel" that works. I find one that works for awhile, then it goes away and back to the drawing board. I agree that it's not for everyone...and probably isn't for me either, to be honest about it! 😃
shareEh, if you love it keep having a fun challenge, why not?
I’ve yet to hook a Northern Pike despite several nearby lakes having a reasonable population. Sport is about failing and trying and trying again👍
Maybe we get there, maybe we don’t. It’s great to try our best.
