Golf takes practice. Amen. It is the most challenging sport I've ever
played. It's all up to the individual, no other players or refs to blame.
And, it's more exercise than walking on water while fishing, which I'm
close to but not yet there!

A friend who's been playing for many years gave my son a used set of
clubs, and took him out to play 3 times. The kid's never done anything but
futz around at a driving range, or play miniature golf with an ice cream
cone in one hand, but he shot 88, 84 and 83 in the 3 games! My friend was
flabbergasted. Now, my son wants to take me out so he can humble another
adult. He seems to be a natural.
Kids are flexible flyers and take to golf very naturally. It's us less
flexible, older types that have the problems.
I've tried it. Tried it again. Tried once more. Gave it up for life.
