i like it because it gets me out of the house. i've just finished high school and my main exercise was PE lessons!

i play every 2 weeks, handicap 28 though should be about 26.

it's a fun sport and you can let out your anger, only problem is it's quite an expensive sport, but becoming very popular now.

[Disco Pants]

Yeah mate I enjoy Golf, play it every week but play football twice a week.

Broke 100 last year best score on a par 71 is 93.

[Badgerman]

I played every now and then with my dad whilst growing up.

Being a natural sportsman golf came quite easy, however my short game isn't up to much.

I should get a handicap but a couple of shitty holes can give you an astronomical number.

It's a good game in that you get a load of fresh air and a good walk about. My local course has a massive fuck off hill which kills you when you drag your clubs up it.

I like finding other peoples' lost balls, especially when they're brand new and I can sell them to my dad for a few quid.

It's not really a saddo's game. Not the most exciting of sports but it's a good laugh.

It is infuriating at times when little things seem to be going wrong that weren't going wrong before.

when your not playing well and hit a 60 first nine then it's the worst sport! but when you've just hit a 45 first nine it's great fun.
i also broke 100 last year, my best is 95 on par70. at my course we have a par 5, 638yards!!!!! longest hole in Norfolk.

I'm about to go to the driving range in half hour actually!

Not a fan of watching it although did enjoy when Tiger had to replay the 18th with that dude for the cup.

[Papa]

watching golf is, in my opinion, one of the most boring things a human being can do with their time. Also cricket, curling and darts.

[Ziss]

Darts? Darts is great. After golf I'm off down the pub to play darts!

[nath_scfc]

Darts is awesome. Golf is good.

Usually just have a whack of a few balls on the Driving Range. NOt played in quite a while, but I am looking to pick up again soon.

[Papa]

darts is fun. watching darts is boring

[Singey]

I often nip down the driving range every month or so. And thats as far as I go with the sport. I find it a bit boring after a while, and watching it, well that is complete and utter shnootzplautzer.

[Sir Rivaldo]

golf is great its nice and relaxing playing in good weather but watching it can drive a man 2 do something he should never do like the washing up

Do you like it, do you hate it? - I love it. If there was no football, Golf would be my most favourite sport.
Do you play/ever played? - I have played it and I am still playing occasionally.
What do you think about it? - I think it's awesome, it's really a good sport and I find it fun.
Does it bore you to death, or do you find it quite exciting? - It's not as exciting as watching or playing football but I guess it depends on the person, for me, It's actually fun both watching and playing it.
Handicaps? - Definitely. At times.
What do you find appealing/unappealing about it? - Appealing because It's a good sport and it's also a etiquette sport. Unappealing because it's a bit expensive really, the whole gear itself costs a hell lot!

Nikos, i meant Handicap as in a handicap you can apply for if you get some good scores, e.g, my handicap is 28 at the moment, but you'd have to play regularly to get a decent handicap.

It's good to see more people playing golf, it's better to start at a younger age (i'm 15 and i started 3 years ago), and it's becoming more of a 'cool' thing to do, it's only the 'hard' people who say they hate golf, or those who think it's a stuck-up, etiquette filled sport, usually cant be bothered to get off their backside's in the morning.

What's the earliest you've ever played golf?

I get up at 4.30am sometimes in the summer when it gets light early because my group who i play with like starting at dawn, so usually 6am tee-off, finish by 10am, and get home by 11am. It doesnt spoil the rest of the day, unless your like me, and need a kip in the afternoon!

[Rambo]

Golf is shit!!! its so fuicking boring

[tom pain]

I hate watching it.

Saying that, it is good fun to play. I don't take it seriously mind - just hire a club and a putter and a illuminous green ball from a shack and play a 12 hole round.

[Rangers_Fureva]

Watching Golf is the most boring thing i could do with my spare time.

Playing it on the other hand is very enjoyable. I used to go to my local golf course, Barshaw Park. First ever time i played i got like 130 odd, yet the par is something around 70. After about a months playing time i managed to get my best of 90, not bad for a month of playing if you ask me. I havn't played since November, keep meaning to go back though, i'm probably gonna be utter shite.

[PES ADDICT 117]

Me too, don't like to watch it that much but love playing it. But as someone else said, it's fucking annoying when you lay shit but great when you play well. I get out when i can but that usually isn't that often. Handicap of 24 but if I played more that might bea lot better :tongue:

[mattlarge]

the annoying thing is when you have been playing great and your about to hit a sub-100 score and you hit ya ball into some trees, and you drop 5 shots on that hole, which in turn ruins your round. because of one bad shot.

I also hate bunkers. Recently it takes me about 3 shots to get out of them, and i despise them!

[Diao]

I play abit of golf, but haven't played in a while because of my shoulder, don't play competively, just play with friends most of the time

[nath_scfc]

darts is fun. watching darts is boring
Not when Sid Waddell is commentating! :cool:

Handicaps? - Definitely. At times.

It's a charity thing you arse cheek.

It's a charity thing you arse cheek.

I know, nothing against that. Its still a PGA Tour event.

Dredging up an old thread in the hope that someone might be able to advise.

Me and a few friends are considering going on a golfing holiday sometime early September, having rekindled the joy for the sport recently.

There are three of us who play reasonably well and can go around in sub-100.

There are another two who aren't that consistent, but are capable of doing similarly on a good day.

Has anyone been away to play golf? Can you recommend a welcoming resort that maybe isn't too demanding?

Resorts that require certificates of handicaps are a no-no. Ideally, somewhere with a decent night-life that also has forgiving courses.

We're thinking Portugal, as it seems a shade cheaper than Spain.
