Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire All Things Golf

18 years ago my wife (now ex) took up golf. She started hanging out at the local golf course all the time, divorced me 3 years later, then moved in with the guy who owned the golf course. Last I heard, she married him - guess she liked golf so much she wanted to own a golf course

I've golfed a few times many years ago - really liked it but felt I had too many other irons in the fire to pursue it. The thought of it now tends to bring back bad memories...

I figured out I can cuss and drink beer without paying green fees. Win/win
Golf’s only redeeming quality is that you get to drive a tiny car around while cussing and drinking beer. If you walk the course you’re doing it wrong.

It’s as bad a money suck as guns.

It’ll be fun once you realize that you’re never going to be any good at it.

Been playing golf for 50 years and still suck at it.

Bogey man.

Hi deflave,
I really enjoy golf too. 1995 to 2016 I was in at least two summer leagues. Don’t play as much now as me and the usual suspects are all busy with school age kids.

Towards the end I felt like I finally had my equipment dialed in to my skill set. Had my handicap whittled down to a 7. Doubt I could play anywhere near that today.

Wonderful, challenging past time...wishing you many memorable rounds.

If i play my slice I’m doing good.
Putting meh.
Can’t drive off the tee to save my life.

Thanks Gypsy.

Maybe if you take it up again we could be golf buddies.

When I get ahold of one watch out!

I prefer my 7 and 9 irons.
I can chuck a ball with my 5 iron.

The only time I gulfed was in kollege.

I lived next to a gulf coarse.

We ( my buds and I) had accluaated , akquired a few klubs, I think we stole 'em.

We would hoof it onto said coarse with the clubs. No gulf balls. We then would play every ball we came across . We would play to the farthest flag we could see.

Yass, it was trememendoos fun.

My only other gulfing experience was when I would shoot a ball "T'd" up at the moment of strike from the other side of the V River, with my .22-250.

I see how one can be attracted to the game.

I had nobody to really help me get started but I do have a friend around Chicago that's exceptionally good and plays all the time.

I asked him which club to start with, he recommended the nine iron. Once I got that down at the driving range I moved all the way up to the four and played only irons for about a month.

LOL

I actually think I benefited from that because I was only learning one type of swing and then slowly incorporating other clubs.

But I still suck.

My folks enjoyed golf and introduced me to the game. Never could do anything with a driver except slice it. Oddly enough I could storm the castle with irons. Long time back a PGA tour wanker named Lee Trevino got sparked by a lightning bolt while playing. He said “Not even God can hit a 1 iron”. I could out drive my old man with a 1 iron such that it weirded him out a little. The game did not excite me much. Mom wound up as President of the Florida Woman’s Golf Assn for a spell. I went to Nam and blew stuff up.

Different strokes for different folks they used to say.
