true story, cant make this shit up

so im on the tee box and like 9ish feet infront off the tee box are like 6 or 7 dowel rods (small wooden rods) sticking out of the ground. Well i place my ball (no homo) on the tee and swing away. hits one of the dowels and bounces back at me.

yea no offense seriously but i've been golfing since i was like 9.... you didn't hit a 60 ft put. you'd be hard pressed to even find a green that big. it was prob more like 30 ft, but that is still a really really dirty ass putt.

I play a lot over the summer... Im a member at a private course because all my Dad's family are members there so i got in easy...

Best round is a 79... I could do much better but i really dont practice my short game enough. My chipping just kills me every time.

I love golf.  I can't afford to go as much as I want to, but I try to make it out at least once a week.  I just picked up a TaylorMade Tour Burner and it has pretty much revolutionized my driving game.  My best games this year was an 80 (par 71) and a 36 (par 32).  I'm stoked.

I love golf. I usually shoot mid 90's, so I have a lot to improve on. But still. I love the game. Got my first eagle two weeks ago. Woopah!

i can't stand golf, but that's because i suck at it and find it incredibly boring. I've been told by a good golfer that it actually does suck terribly unless your good, which i could see being true, but i don't have the time to get good. Lacrosse is my sport

Depends. Define "good".

I think if you routinely shoot over 100 and cant hit the ball off the ground golf sucks. But the main appeal is that youre always playing against yourself. And its always a mental game to improve just as much as it is physical...
Its great because its a game you can play your whole life and pretty much always have a good time... because its just you against your own expectations.

yeah, i suck at golf, and there for golf sucks to me. i could see it being fun when your good, but im not.
every time i hit a ball, it goes stright for a little, then curves about 90 degrees right and goes into the other course. i felt like a dick...

Get a lesson. Sounds like youre just coming over the top on your downswing... really common mistake for beginners and easily fixed...


If you put a bit of time into getting lessons, preferably with video and whatnot too you can get so much better. If you dont know what youre doing wrong you cant improve...
Thats what i like about golf. Every round i go out there with this idea of what i want to do with my swing and how i want to play and try and execute that as well as i can.

60 feet is fucking huge dude. If you hit it, props to you. Ive been playing since i was like 6 and I work at a really nice golf course. The biggest green there is probably 60 feet front fringe to back so its definitely possible.
