Anyone else find golf completely frustrating to play (or learn how to play)?

Question

I'm athletic and love to play sports but I'm having a heck of a time with learning how to play golf...mainly just hitting the d**n ball! Anyone else have this frustration in the beginning? (Or maybe still do?)

Answer 1

yeah it just doesn't go where i want :( its a difficult pastime to learn

Answer 2

Getting the ball through the hole before the windmill sails come around is my biggest problem.

Answer 3

heck yea, the first time i played i could hit it worth a ish

i played a couple times n i got better so the more you practice the better you get

at first i could barly hit the ball 100 in da air

now after palyin like 3 or 4 times

i can hit it bout 250+   yards sometimes

I thinks it all a mindset u gotta be in, because when your frusterated you play bad, but when your no even thinking  bout it you play better, at least 4 me

Answer 4

haha i hate golf, your not alone i either end up throwing the stick thinging, missing the ball or hitting it and it only gowing like 2 feet :P

Answer 5

if your frustrated you are frustraded at your self not the game. It takes time to learn how to golf, somtimes years but even then you are still learning.

Answer 6

even pros are frustrated.  it is the most stressful sport for me to play

Answer 7

golf is soooooooooooooo booooring and gaaaay!

Answer 8

Think about it, golf would be no fun if you hit perfect shots everytime. We'd all be shooting 59's every round....no fun.

Golf is shooting a 81 one day and a 68 the next (actually happend to me lol.) You could have the worst day of golf ever but if you execute just one shot perfect that round, it will keep you coming back for more.

Answer 9

Golf sucks.

Answer 10

I love golf, but in the beginning, I hated it. I mean, I'm impatient, so it made sense. I always used to think, "Why would anyone just stand around here hitting a ball with a stick for a few hours!" But then, after some more practice, I really started loving it. Just be patient and you'll start loving golf, too.

Answer 11

Take lessons you will enjoy this great game once you start to succeed. To all the "I hate golf, golf is soft ,golf is g*y".  Try playing the game,to the soccer lover I have played soccer too but I didn't go around knocking other sports, grow up.

Answer 12

Yep, it can be frustrating. It is a sport...game that even after two decades  I and others still have trouble mastering, something is always going aerie, your driving the ball well and your putting goes on a vacation and vice versa. Just keep at it, one good shot and you will be coming back for more.
