You're going straight to hell.

Golf is for the damned and those in need of chintzy things, like Audis.

I started playing 2 years ago but because of personall issues I had in my life it only lasted about 3 months but I really love it, it's the only sport I can stomach. At the moment I've got a nice set of clubs just gathering dust in my garage but I must try and get back to it ASAP because since I moved to south coast I discovered there's about 15 golf courses within 20 minutes drive so I have no excuses...

Please don't describe it as a 'sport'.

It's poncing about, wearing pimp's clothing in a big garden.

its not really a sport is it???

I started a few years back, and kind of drifted in and out of spending time on the driving range and a 9 holes every now and then. I dont take it seriously (as in i dont count how many shots it takes me to get around).. but i enjoy the walking element  :cool:

Used to play regularly up until I went to uni.  Got my handicap down to 9

Played a few times since; last time I played was on the 2010 Ryder Cup course  :smug: :smug:

Exactly! Sometimes I treat my self to a buggy...which often leads to me and my friends having more fun driving the buggies than the hobby/game/sport it self!  :laugh:

Whereabouts in the south have you moved? I play in Hampshire, nearer Eastleigh way most weekends.

My dogs like the golf course opposite.

The cats are probably quite familiar with the sand traps too.

It's not a sport, its one of them made believe things that people do in shorts when they get bored, a bit like them cosplay/roleplay reenactment events... along with darts and cricket off course!

However riding a buggy and driving over land mines on a field sounds more exciting than walking around a field with a stick to hit round objects... meh, maybe it's me.

I Play, i'm not too sh!t.

I got into it as a bit of a Business/Networking thing really, i'm a member at whats considered a 'Prestige' Course around here and you meet so many people through it and work gets passed around. Its very handy.

Also means every few weeks me an my Grandad go round, i get hours of life advice which basically amounts to me being wrong on everything!

It's such a good sport for networking! Can be quite clecky though in some clubs. I get frowned at when I walk into one club near, a prestigious club you say, just cause I don't have a handy cap!
