I'm talking about the curse of the Scots. Golf.
Does anyone else here play the best most frustrating game the outdoors has to offer?
Does anyone ever claim to be better than "ok, I guess?"
What clubs do you use? Are you better with woods (boner joke oh so clever) or irons?
How's your long ball? Your short game?
Do you shoot a lot of birdies? Eagles? Ever had and Albatross?
Ever shot a hole in one?
Where do you play? Do you prefer 9 or 18? Do you walk or use a power cart? If you walk do you have a carry bag or do you use a pull-cart?
I've got a friend who's just learning and it's only when you try and teach someone how to hit the ball do you realize how fucking ridiculous a game it is you've spent so much time and money on.
Remember to swing through the ball like it's not even there, ignore it completely. But don't take your eye off of it.
Keep your knees bent, left arm straight, back straight, feet planted, shift your weight, release your shoulders, follow through. But don't think about it, make sure it's very natural.
Finally, has anyone ever noticed that what is maybe the most expensive game ever was created by a people notoriously frugal with their money?
and... go!

I was doing better than normal until I started to get tired from all the walking and the friggin' sun beating down on me all the dang ol' day
One a chip in from the rough, one a double-breaking 50' putt.
These are the only two real highlights, that don't involve drunken golf carting, from 10+ years of golf.
most of the time I consider it a victory if I bogey
3 putts per green.... woo.

My girlfriend gets excited if there's a name for what she shoots.
"That's two triple bogies in a row! Sweet it has a name!
Yar, I consider it a great day if i'm under 100 for 18, and if there's hot cart girls.
complete and utter luck caused by overshooting a par 3 and hitting the pin perfectly so that the ball dropped in
fishing is fucking terrible
Robin Williams, the man of genius
Fishing is great, I just don't have appreciation for serenity required. Once in a while I just want quiet, though, and for those times, I keep a fishing pole and tackle box.
"Oh god no. Hate the game. Hate the people who play it even more."
"Then why'd you ask me?"
"I'm just not good at small talk, ya prick."
The best part of golf is the beer cart girl, though.
Man I was at a course and they had the fattest ugliest cart girl ever.
I'm getting a membership at the private club my dad goes to next summer, $1500 be damned.
The fuck? I thought it was, like, international law that the girl with the beer cart had to be at least half-again as hot as your significant other.
You should start a county-wide boycott of that course until they institute a no fatties rule.
A buddy of mine was talking about some rules his friends had for golf. Like, when you t-off, if you didn't hit the ball past a certain point, you had to play the rest of the hole with your donger hangin' out.
There is nothing more humiliating that playing with your girlfriend and flubbing a drive that doesn't make it past the ladies' tee. Walking around with your donger out would be a nice punishment for that crime if you weren't embarrassed enough already.
I'm fairly certain they were just looking for excuses to see each others cocks.
Actually playing golf is by far the most frustrating thing ever.
I play golf. But poorly.
it is the sport of fat complacency
golf carts, seriously
I was in a tournament on the weekend and tried for the longest drive prize by winding up and swinging for the fences.
Hit the top of the ball with the heel of the club. Ended up going about 30 yards into the bushes.
Mulligan hit that doesn't count? 225 yards with an nice easy swing.
Stupid game.
Then they get to the driving range and it's like "Why the hell can't I make it go STRAIGHT, FUCK!?!?!?"
This is all true.
The worst thing ever is golfing with someone that goes so slow and can't hit the ball.
I have no problem going out with someone on their first game, but you have to hustle to make up for the fact that we're only walking 20 yards at a time.
I was like "shit yes"
286 on my best drive. 8-)
I'm not sure how that happened, but I haven't gone back since.
only 90% of the time.
i play on a fairly hard course almost exclusively and on a good day i can average mid 80s.
driving is my nemesis. i can consistently put up a weak drive of 220-240 but any time i try to put power behind my swing terrible things happen and i murder some trees.
I.
Cannot.
Hit.
The ball.
Straight.
