Golf is Fun?

Well, certainly it should be! Personally, fun is not the reason that I play golf. I'm extremely competitive on the course, and I'm motivated by attempting to pummel everyone else on the course that day. If I accomplish that feat, no doubt it will be fun, but that is not what drives me. I do wish that I could play golf for fun more often, but if I'm looking for fun I will likely not be on the golf course.

The average golfer (if there is such a beast) that is not in the business of golf does want to have fun while golfing, but that's where a central problem in the game is found. All things considered, a day on the links will take six hours (including travel, warmup, 19th hole, etc.) and will involve expense.
That time spent on the course is time that we are either not working, or not with our families. All that considered, you're now on the course, ready to have fun, and then you struggle through the round and are extremely frustrated at the end of the day. If that describes your last few rounds, you've probably asked yourself if it is worth it.

We love the idea of golf, like being outside on a nice course, and we want to be with friends, to enjoying our chosen leisure activity. The problem is that our chosen leisure activity in many cases is harder and causes more frustration than our career or family situation! GOLF IS HARD! Nearly every golfer has said "I'm either going to get better or quit", myself included.
I chose to work harder on my game, focus tighter on what was necessary to make improvement, and get stronger mentally.

If you're overly frustrated you'll eventually either give up, or you will commit to improve knowing that it will be hard and take time. If you choose the latter, Someday is Today!

Lower your expectations, and raise your commitment.
