I'm with Blake - golf sucks when you are playing crap. Unless there is light at the end of the tunnel, it will do your head in. People who say that playing for enjoyment is reason enough are kidding themselves. If you weren't supposed to take it seriously, you wouldn't be required to keep score.
Forum needs more banter.
I play just for enjoyment now, and as a result I rarely play.
It's a catch 22. If you seldom play or practice, chances are you play poorly. If you play poorly, you probably don't get too much enjoyment out of it, so it's hard to get excited about play or practice.
It makes you appreciate the journeyman golf pro with his endless self-belief though.

Start gambling more. No matter how crap your playing, as long as your not as crap as your mates, it's still competitive. It's amazing how good a 90 can feel some days.
Mine eventually ran out after about 10 years! lol
Its all about mindset you don't need to play / practise heaps but if you let some bad shots get to you and you become frustrated or negative then it will start to affect your performance even more..
The majority of golfers need to learn how to flick the switch between concentration on each shot and relaxation between shots! Its just like listening to your missus (Your listening but not really!)

Lucy Harris smart smart smart, Martin Harris dumb.
Hmmm, I look forward to the next response.
Meant in a non-personal attack kind of way, of course.

This is no reflection on the OP but I have played with some absolute wankers in my time and they do affect the playing environment, which will sometimes affect the way the group performs..
To say block out the distraction is moving away from the fact your playing partner is acting like a ****wit!

Just for the record, am I being referred to as an on course psycho here?
Forum needs more banter.
What do you do if you give up golf and discover that you're crap at lawn bowls?
Have a beer at each end. Sort of like Carton golf but not as far to walk.

""Everyone has different reasons, playing just for 'fun' doesnt work for me. Heck I even heard of one bloke who plays just so he can look at bunkers."
"I want to get better, if I am getting worse, wheres the fun in that."
MTB,
Fair enough,...I too want to get better,however thats a grind, a personal goal which can be about as much fun as pulling teeth for me....... "Where's the fun part"
Well for me.
Friday afternoon skins!!(slegding)
Team events like 3 man ambrosses in groups of six.(heckling)
Head to head social matches.
Long drives!
long putts!
Aces!!
Freakish approaches
Having my inflated ego flattened (it's fun to see others happy too)
I could go on............

The target wasn't defined enough, too easy to get out of. Changed to Reach 5.0 by 31/12. Wont be able to cop out of it now.
You say that like I don't realise something that you know.
You might be on to something there, but Ozgolfers wont bet, except for you, and you are the biggest hustler going around.
Thats harsh. a fair response to that would be 'What crap, spoken by someone who cant win'
