I played a lot as a kid (would never do it now). I would agree that you need lessons. you could go out and have some beginner's luck hitting the ball with no experience, but in the long run you will eventually need to swing "correctly." Also putting is HARD. and a chipping swing is different, etc. definitely need lessons for that sort of thing.
golf is frustrating and boring and mosquitoes bite you and it's terrible for groundwater, habitats, and other good things. it's not worth the damage it causes.
Well that was the Happy/Positive Post of the Day.

You just CANNOT help yourself can you? It is IMPOSSIBLE for you to not do it? Thanks Debbie....
My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

Country clubs and cemeteries are the biggest wasters of prime real estate! Dead people? They don't need to be buried nowadays. Ecology, right? Ask Wang. He'll tell you. We just bought property behind the Great Wall. On the good side!

Sidenote: I knew a guy like that once. Most negative person I have ever met in my entire life. In fact, no exaggeration, the closest to "upbeat" he got when he said something was 'ok'. Needless to say this person is no longer in my life.

And others are right, if you're not that good, dont keep score.
i like that idea.
so the consensus seems to be that it's frustrating but addictive. i'm excited to try out a new hobby and i wanted something outdoors. it came down to that or tennis but i've already tried tennis lessons and that didn't go so well. (plus no one i know plays tennis so i might actually get to use this one...)

such a good quote.
caddy: "do you want your driver?"
al czervik: "no, he's not my type."
Are you really trying to argue that your comment wasn't "negative" in nature??
I don't know what it was, why on earth does it matter??? I don't get why anyone would care about a comment like that, yet two people did. I didn't say anything shocking.
yep grass and trees really fuck up old mother nature...oh no wait that is mother nature
um, there is NOTHING natural about golf courses. golf courses cause habitat fragmentation at best and total destruction of habitats at worse. native species are cleared out and invasives are brought in. And um, why do you think golf courses always look so "nice"? it's called fertilizer, which seeps into groundwater and runs off into surface water. yes, there maybe worse uses for a given parcel of land, however a golf course is rarely a good choice.
even on a small scale, there are species whose niche is so small, even just putting a fairway between groups of trees completely segments their habitat.

yeah, you could say the same about houses, strip malls, etc. do you complain about those as well?

wtf, everyone knows golf courses are bad for the environment. I'm just stating the obvious. how is that being "negative."
Are you really trying to argue that your comment wasn't "negative" in nature??
yep grass and trees really fuck up old mother nature...oh no wait that is mother nature
I'm confused as well. Oh well. I can't waste my time with this nonsense.

I want to brush up this summer so I can dominate something other than the par 3's.
