I Have Lately Been Playing Golf

And It Seems Very Very Frustrating

I have played many others and this seems to top my frustration list

What Do You Think?

why do you think it's frustrating?

When U Play One Bad Shot It Can Completly Stuff Up That Hole Or Even The Round

then many concentration/strategy games would be frustrating.
nah... i dont think it's frustrating. it's a game. it's part of the game. you just have to know that you can't play a bad shot and be ready to accept that you might need to make a biiiig turnaround if you miss it

mmhmm when your out there on the golf course and all u have is a stick and a ball.........it can really get frustrating when things go wrong

i guess that the word you're looking for is "practice"
the best of the world aren't the best because of sheer "luck"

i understand you, though

Golf is awesome!

i have been to the driving range and its fun. mini-golf is extremely fun also!

Golf, never got into it. I can see how frustrating it is, but I don't say it cause I don't play in the pros. When its a hobby, it's just a game.

I know one of my nephews likes the game, he's got more concentration on golf than I do on web design, it's amazing.

Cheers

golf is awesome, yeah. but i do agree, it is one of the hardest sports i've ever played. the only thing that amazes me more than pro golfers are pro skateboarders...

or pro riders(bmxers)

Frustrating? Not frustrating at all. If you do get frustrated, you are going to screw up. Clear your mind and concentrate on the ball and the hole. That's the key.



I totally agree.

@emo: BMXer's aren't that impressive to me... I mean, I can jump on a bike and hit a ramp, do flips, and sure, I'll crash it and hurt myself, but I did it. As for skateboarding, I can't jump on a skateboard and do a ollie without falling on my ass almost immediately. Skateboarding is much more tricky than BMXing.

it's relaxing and fun when ur playing just for fun. Personally i find it frustrating cause i suck at golf, its not an easy sport and its not a constant game like hockey or baseball, in golf the situations are different for every stroke be-it the weather, the grass, the fairway, the design, the clubs, ur lie etc...

its a game where the better you get the more frustrating it is

It is quote frustrating because it is hard to get one in when you lose confidence. Another sport that gets me frustrated is basketball. If you miss a few shots, you tend to miss the rest even if you're under the basket. I hate those times

have you ever seen those iraqui sports!!?? those are really wierd

not sure about frustrating

but for me its the most boring, idiotic and one of the most un-athletics sports i know

unathletic i could argue that

me myself being a runner......

playin 18 holes in one day.....can be quite tireing

not 2 mention i play on a very hilly course but that doesnt matter

i think it involves many athletics abilities

The only time when golf is frustrating is when you stike the ball 10 times before you hit the dam thing because your sh** at the game...

Other than that golf is very relaxing to play...

Only played a few times, I have never cussed so much in my life. Put put golf is fun...

Golf definitely has to be one of the most frustrating, if not the most frustrating sport. People who disagree with that are either lying, have never played it, aren't competitive and don't care about losing or failing, of they're professionals. It takes so much coordination to hit a golf ball perfectly.

I love golf. What is your record for the most holes in one day? I once got in 45 holes with my dad(with cart) Walking, I only have gotten 36.

I guess people that get frustrated are the ones that still, after all the practice, do not know why the ball goes a certain way.

imo it's quite relaxing.

If you think the game is frustrating, then you are taking it too seriously.

And that book actually teachs the golfer a thing or two. I own it.

It is a game if your ride, a sport if you walk.


What is more important is what you shot.

Anyway, I absolutely frickin' love golf. Anyone who hates it has probably never had the thrll of a birdie or catching a drive and lacing it 290 yards. Oh, man a sand shot into the hole or a bump and run for an Eagle on a short par 5... heaven. Add in a cooler of beer, some cigars, and your good friends you never get to see since you got married and you have one helluva good time. Thank God I live in Georgia where there are really only about 2 months of the year in which you can't golf (right now as a matter of fact).

Golf is frustrating as hell untill you get better at it, then it becomes really fun. If you are shooting in the 80s and still are not enjoying yourself then you really should just quit playing. If youa re shooting high 90s to 100s, then you just need to keep practicing.

Oh, and I have about a 15 handicap (sober).

Man, I love golf. best relaxing game in the world. what r u taking abt????????????

I personally dont play it. But from what ive heard alot of folks say its a relly relaxing game that focuses alot on technique. Now it would be braindamaged of me to just say here that i hate the game when i have never played it before

bottom line is "different strokes for different folks."

Its frustrating if you suck at it...


I dont play the sport cuz for me, its just a waste of time.

I don't think I take anything too seriously. When I am doing something I try to do it to the best of my ability no matter what it is, even something like golf. I get frustrated when I feel I'm not performing up to my potential. As I said I just HATE to fail or lose. As far as I'm concerned, not performing at my best is failing.

And for those people who say that golf is only frustating if you suck at it are clueless. Even professional golfers admit they get frustrated with golf. Look at Tiger Woods. Even he has bad days and gets frustrated.

It's like that with any sport really. You make one bad shot in any game and it can stuff the whole game up. No matter if it's tennis, football, basketball, or even baseball or hockey ... it can totally turn the tables no matter which sport you are playing. That's why you should always try to play 100% no matter what.

i enjoy golf, but it is frustrating at the same time. and i have about a 14 handicap. i love being outside, enjoying the weather, always walking (carts throw off my feel of distance...), but damn if i'm ever satisfied with any round.
