[quote=Anonymous]Don't get discouraged OP.  I don't play golf any more, but when I used to play I quickly realized there are a lot of really bad golfers out there.  It's a hard game.  Sure, it comes more naturally to some, but most, including myself, are terrible.

If you want to stick with it, leave the driver and 3 wood at home.  These are the hardest clubs to hit.  When I used to play, I got laughed at because I was hitting a five wood off the tee of a par 5.  Sure, I was a lot shorter than most- a good five wood for me is about 200 -225 yards.  While I was shorter, I was also more accurate.  Same thing with the irons, these are much easier to hit and will make your round much more enjoyable.  I can crush a driver, but more times than not it's crushed into the woods or sliced onto the adjacent fairway.

Golf's a humbling game.  As soon as you think you can play it, you'll have a crap game and shoot over a 100.  There were a lot of reasons I stopped playing- cost too much money, took too much time, got into other activities that I enjoy more, but one of the deciding factors was that I couldn't come to grips with how inconsistent my game was and as somebody who's competitive by nature, it made the game less fun.[/quote]
