Any Golfers?

I've noticed there's a few of us that enjoy hacking our way around 200 acres of green belt

I've played since I was 12 then more with enthusiasm around 2005 onwards getting down to a 16 handicap. Since my daughter was born and i've switched jobs I don't play as often as i'd like to and float around the low to mid 90s.

My uncle Malcolm played on a lot of top courses, he'd remember the courses by way of which holes he'd had heart attacks on (he had 6 in total).

Ooh get you

Other chap at work plays in his scratch team, I can't see how it's possible to get it down to that level.

did not take up golf till i was 33 now 45 although i did play as a youngster, me and a few kids would go to the local green and make our own holes and share a few clubs around, my golf team (bedlingtonshire) won the northumberland hadrian golf league this year.

You can poke golf where the sun doesn't shine, no matter how hard I have tried, I cannot see the point.

boxed , played football, snooker,darts , tennis, table tennis ,squash, but none will ever be as hard to master than golf, and if anyone says it is a gentle sport, try playing a county 36 hole competion, takes around 11 hours with practice beforehand and 30 mins for lunch,then the mental aspect,

You experience every emotion possible while playing golf, conquering those emotions is a hard lengthy battle.

Not played for few years now, was never much good, but I did enjoy it. Got too many hobbies to fit in golf these days, but sure I will get back to it, even if just for the odd game.
