Just not something I want to spend my time and money on (especially since I suck at it).
That's kind of it with golf. If you are a decent golfer, you love the game. If you're bad at it...well it sucks.
Golf requires dedication and practice, practice, practice. Some people just don't have the patience to stick with it to the point where they get good enough to enjoy it. And, some people suck at it but are obsessed to get better and suffer playing the game.
If I had the time for two hobblies I'm sure I would have continued playing golf. I was getting decent at it and am sure I could be good enough to enjoy the game.
But what are with these people that can't play that claim they like it? How is this possible? I heard a guy in the gym talking to a guy and he said he shot a 118 last week and a 118 the week before, and said "At least I am consistent". Yeah, and you suck too. How can you enjoy that? I couldn't. I'm not saying you have to shoot a 70, but I at least have to be good enough to on occasion (even if it's once a day) play like the pros. You know, par a hole or maybe even birdie it. Knock down a 15 foot put. Hit one square off the tee right in the middle of the fairway. If you just suck how do you enjoy that?
I've seen some guys fishing that I don't understand either. The fly spends more time in the trees than the water and I'm just sitting there scratching my head and wondering what they are getting out of this.
Why are there so many [expletive] golfers when you go golfing?. If not for all the [expletive] douchebag golfers, I just might be able to tolerate it... If I had time, money, and the need to compensate for a lack of manliness[
