My golf history: Active player for about 30 years, up until recently twice a week or so. Been 28 handicap most of that time. Took lessons from 5 different pros: 1) - He became hard core alcoholic soon after giving me a lesson. 2) - Committed suicide a couple of weeks after my last lesson. 3) thru 5) - All got fired within a month or two after giving me lessons. Pro #4 had my handicap down to 25, but it went back up to 28 after pro #5. Pro #5 several years ago entered me (without my knowledge) in the Golf Digest World's Worst Golfer contest. Time constraints prevented me from participating. Currently not playing much, as I can't use anything longer than a 6 iron and expect it to be +/- 2 fairways away. Chances of either left or right are about equal. I once hit a drive that landed 4 fairways to my right. Another drive made a complete circle to the left - boomerang fashion, landing near the tee. (Duck hook?) I putt fairly well, tho. | ||

I was on the golf team back in high school, but haven't swung the clubs much in the last 10 years. | ||

Hans, Maybe you are right! Golf can be the start of some bad habits, but its all in good fun! | ||

Golf relaxing????? I've always thought that it's the very best way to perfect your drinking and swearing. | ||

I was a golf teaching pro for 8 years (also did a golf TV show for the last 3 yrs). Had to give it up because your body wears down from playing golf 6 days a week after so many years. It was a nice 8 year long vacation though. | ||

Let me just say "I ATTEMPT TO PLAY GOLF". I like the game but the best part of golf is on the 19th hole....  | ||

I recommend that if you've never played golf, then don't start, if you have, then quit! Most on here have heard my story again, so I won't repeat. You can search for it if you wish. Golf sucks! | ||

I used to play every weekend during the spring, summer, and fall. Now I only get to play like once a month. Golf is sweet. Golf carts are also very sweet, especially since we always get real early tee times (6:30am - 7:30am) and the ground still has dew on it. | ||

I play once or twice a week. No problems with bag storage as I can put two carry bags in the trunk. | ||

I recommend it to virtually anyone who wishes to relax and have a good time. To me it is the MOST relaxing thing knowing that whenever I step on the first tee all I have to worry about is hitting a white ball for the next four hours. DES, some good advice is this: When you get on the course, forget about trying to correct your swing, just go with the flow and play the game. | ||

John, i don't play (never played a round in my life) but i sure as hell like going to the range... My biggest problem is- all my shots are like republican extremists- they're waaaaaay to the right... My boss said he'd take me out and we'd round the holes, so i'm waiting for that... | ||

I play mostly over at English Turn in New Orleans. Its a Nicklaus course thats plays host to a PGA Tour event every year. Tough if you miss the greens! I just got back from a 2 year break from golf and have the ol' handicap down to about a 6 now. Just wondering how many of us F-chatters tee it up. Must be funny letting the golf bag ride passenger in the F-car How often do you get the chance to play? |
