I haven't played a full round of golf yet, but I did make two pars my first time out on a golf course.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes, I play a round of extremely poor golf.
Don't play too much golf. Two rounds a day are plenty.
You could argue that if the average golfer plays a golf course with 430-yard par 4s and they always miss the green, that's good practice. It's definitely great practice to play a course that's too long for you.
Brushing up on your short game at the practice area is fine and good, but taking it with you to the golf course - when your score is really on the line - is another story.
The first time I played golf was in Flushing Meadows, Queens, when I was about 16 or 17. They had an 18-hole pitch-and-putt. My buddies and I would hop the fence and sneak on and play.
I played golf for 25 years before I made a hole-in-one of any kind. I was on the tour for years before it finally happened. Eventually I made 23, but boy, that first one was a long time coming. It was the price I paid for not shooting at every flag.
I do not let a bad score ruin my enjoyment for golf.
It was cool for a couple of weeks, but how much bad golf can you play?
I'm a golfer and have had three holes in one.
I tried real hard to play golf, and I was so bad at it they would have to check me for ticks at the end of the round because I'd spent about half the day in the woods.
