Oh how I hate that game!!! Use to be good at it. So good a I had golf scholarship that I turned down cause I hated that white ball so much.

I asked a buddy, "Why do you like to club those poor little defenseless "golfs"? He said, "I release most of them out in the woods unharmed!

I used to play a lot... it was a good way to socialize and day drink.

I played golf with a work colleague in a social scramble that name each golf ball on tee with somebody he didn't care for so he could "smash" the crap out them!

I just gave away a set of Big Bertha Callaway Knock offs, a New Bag and about 50 New Sleeves of Titleist & Top Flite Balls.
Played the Best Courses in the World in Hawaii and couldn't Golf worth a darn.
Probably don't shoot much better either!

Golf: An ineffectual endeavor to place a pellet in an obscure hole with entirely inadequat weapons.

I played golf 3 times. The first time was at Norton, Air Force Base in 1970. My room-mate, Ward Conger, and Tony Vlach, both C-141 pilots, asked me to play with them. I was a complete rookie. I thought we were supposed to have fun.......... so, I guess I was a "Hey, batter, batter" kind of guy. Ward didn't care, but Tony was a serious golfer, and was OFFENDED! I just blew him off, and eventually parred the 18th hole. Tony was so P*$$ed he wouldn't talk to me for two weeks. The next two times I played didn't go much better, so I decided to concentrate on slipping the surley bonds of earth and concentrate on flying. I also tried to perfect my standard meal of rib steaks, artichokes, and corn on the cob. I don't miss the golf part.

I find shooting and golf similar in that each is an individual challenge of my own abilities. Practice, practice, practice to get better. Spend a LOT of money on equipment and disposables (golf balls vs shooting components). I find it a worthwhile endeavor that gives me a little exercise while doing it.
And to borrow a VERY IMPORTANT aspect posted above by LuvDog, "a good way to socialize and day drink." Hard to argue with any of that!!!

But they are hard to hit flying by. Even sitting still.
