    I don't understand how golf can be enjoyable if you're garbage. A friend of mine has been playing most of his adult life and has a handicap of 24. Give it up.

    It’s not. Granted I’m not the clientele that would be welcome on a golf course here but I never got any better in all the years I played in the UK either so I probably wouldn’t bother any more anyway. It’s a frustrating cunt of a game.

    I'm dogshit and love golf. I've only just started playing again after a 20 year hiatus though, so perhaps the novelty will wear off soon.

    I am shit and cannot drive or iron (this is only the second time I’ve played) but when I made it to the green I sunk that ball in two shots or fewer on half the holes, which was so satisfying.

    As long as your competition is a similar level of shite, any sport can be fun.

    Apart from Cricket.

    You don't have to be good at golf to enjoy it. It's probably the reverse, the better you get, the more frustrating it becomes. No matter how bad you might be at golf (within obvious limits) it is still possible for you to hit a shot any professional would struggle to match, on occasion. It's just you do it once every 5 rounds or so, whereas they beat you on the other 349 shots (you take 500).

    I'm shit at golf too, but can hit it miles. So long as I get a few sweet connections per round, fuck all the time spent in bushes and three putting.

    If you’re not playing golf exclusively with friends in the sun with snacks, you’re not playing the same game as me.

    I’m shit at golf and decided a few years ago to just abandon hopes of being able to use a driver. 5 iron off every tee of par 4 and 5s is fine. Can hit it pretty far with my 5 iron. Shot 92 round an absolute horror of a course with water and trees galore, and it beat any other round I’ve done by 7-10 shots. As long as I hit one good shot per round, I’m happy.

    The sooner you accept you’re shit and golf, and always will be, the more enjoyable it becomes.

    The idea that you need to be good at something to enjoy it, or for it to be worth doing

    What a world that would be, if everyone thought like that.

    Most activities do have a minimum level of competence required for it to be enjoyable, imo. I do not know what that level is for golf, never played.

    I've always wanted to go golfing but it would be on my own, I'd need lessons and I'd imagine it would cost a lot of money upfront, right?

    I think most people just learn by doing. It's golf, it's not a high-risk thing. Just go with someone who is good at it and listen to them.

    Not played proper golf in absolutely ages. Played crazy golf with the missus about a year ago but that's about it.

    I just picked the missus up from her final surgery and the ward was empty. Apparently elective surgery is at a bare minimum at the Mater because the majority of the nurses are out at fever clinics and vaccination hubs. We are currently at zero community transmissions and Zero deaths fuck knows how bad it could get if we were a bunch of Sydney shit cunts?

    Speaking of those shit cunts they haverecorded another record 177 cases. This is going to take a year or more to fix as they just don't care at all.

    You wouldn’t be on your own though as it would be full of other players. I don’t think I ever played a full round in my life because if there was a group of sneers coming up behind me I always just picked the ball off the tee and moved to the next hole.

    I am a poor golfer but that just makes the 5 good shots per round feel even better. If you love it, you love it.

    I don't know anyone who would be interested in going golfing let alone someone who is good at it.

    Just go to a driving range if you want to have a go without all the added bother.

    I've never been golfing. I hate being shit at things and the precision/fluidity that I suspect is required is definitely not my bag. I'm dreading turning 40 and everyone around me suddenly getting into it.

    Honestly I’d struggle to think of an activity I’d rather do less (within reason) than going the driving range. Thankfully that craze seems to have gone away, although that could be because of a) everything went away due to covid or b) everything went away cos my mates are shite these days and nobody does anything anymore.

    Sure, but if you just want to try hitting a few balls to get the hang of it then it's easier than going to a course.

    Tomorrow will be week 3 since I got symptoms.

    I still can't smell or taste. Still have fatigue. Still some minor brain fog. Sickness is coming and going. Sleeping is all over the place. I've still got my trembling chest and coughing but that's more the pneumonia I think.

    My smell and taste are mostly back, and I've just got the lingering annoying cough, but I had that for about three weeks last February. Otherwise my immune system has done the business once again.
