i worked at country clubs all my life.  i lived on 2 country club golf  courses  as my dad was a club manager. i caddied and worked on the greens.

use to toss a ball from my back yard on a tee and start to play.  went to the range, practiced on the clubs range but could not get good enough..so i just gave it up.  i would have a great game going  even or 1 or 2 over par and then a 6 an 8 couple bogies and i was done.  just to frustrating 

Like some others have said, I was an avid golfer until I found fishing.  Now, I may only get out once or twice a year at most.

Golf is pretty fun, my girlfriend took me a few years ago, I liked it and bought a cheap set of clubs. Golf can be super expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Compared to fishing, you can buy all of your clubs for the same cost as one fishing rod. Then you need one glove, and then the cost of the course. I don't know about you guys but I can play 9 holes at a par 3 for like $10. Many courses also offer discounts to students.
