To quote Rick Smith (GD [SA] Dec '06): "Golf has a revolving door. Every year thousands of people play the game for the first time, while thousands of others sell their clubs at garage sales."
For what it's worth, I've made peace with the fact that - for me - golf is a never-ending process of tweaking, a quest for perfection, a challenge in self-accomplishment. That's what makes the game great. Face & analyse your weaknesses and work them out. Don't give up. And see a pro. And stick with GR. And no 'egg-nog' chirps anyone!
Good luck!!  |
Very nicely said DTD. Golf to me is the same. If it was easy, it wouldn't have this attaching enigma to it. We all know scratch golf is possible, the never-ending chase is the fun part- to me.
You can break 100 by just the "easier" part- course management. Try to focus on where the trouble is, how to avoid it, and by using your strengths- at the time! You'll start getting good at it. Don't try to hit a 215 yard shot w/ a 3 iron with lots of trouble around- just because "everybody else does it." That one extra shot to the green because you used a 9 iron may be 3 less than the former. Oh, yah, did I mention the short game? Good luck, kid.
