Answer 1

yes it is, but I think "addictive" is a better word.

Answer 2

It takes patience and it will be uncomfortable at first because you have to get your form corrrect.

Good Luck.

Answer 3

yeah, golf is great. but at first you're gonna hate it so much.

you'll probably mess up a whole lot and get frustrated. but as you improve it will become a ton of fun.

so yeah, it is. but go ahead and get an early start

Answer 4

golf is fun. i'm 15 years old and going to play 2nd or 3rd on my team in matches. don't worry about the big crowds until you make it to state finals or something. for the tryouts what usually happens is that you play 9 holes on a course and report your score. you play with a group of 4 and those are the only people that'll watch you play. this is the same for matches as well. if you're interested in playing golf try it out. i didn't think it'd be fun but one year later i love it and always look to improve my game.

Answer 5

In my opinion golf is the greatest game ever invented. I would say go for it! It takes lots of practice and lots of patience, but it can be VERY rewarding. No matter how bad you play, all it takes is one good shot and then all is redeemed and you feel like a million bucks once again.

Whatever you decide, good luck! (Golf, golf, golf!!! lol!)

Answer 6

ya its a lot of fun i just started playing also and last year i was on my high school team. its also an easy way to meet new people.

Answer 7

I love golf and think it is a great sport, just look at my avatar. anyways people think it is boring and easy, bu it is actually fun and challenging. Also it is good for people who don't have great physical strength or speed. strength is something I don,t have so I play golf. that's pretty much all you need to know about golf.

Answer 8

Its like most other things in life;  when its going good, golf is a blast.   But somedays you cant hit anything and wonder why you pay to play this silly game.    Its definitely a good game for us introverted types;  give it a whirl and see !

Answer 9

What is most fun about golf is the constant drive to improve yourself.  There is no limit at all to anyone's potential at the sport.  It is also very fun to play socially with your friends.  And don't worry about being in front of crowds, because I have played on my high school golf team for the past two years and have not once, even at conference and districts, had to play in front of a crowd.

Answer 10

Golf is really fun.  But the problem are some people who work at certain golf courses are total jerks.  Or they treat others differently to make Golf only available to just certain people.  Maybe because of the high class thing.  I think that kinda attitude has to be banned in Golf.  If Golf wanna be as big as Football and Basketball, USGA has to make Golf available to anyone.

Answer 11

Golf is a sport that is as fun as you make it.  First off, seeing as you have never played, that means you shouldn't expect anything good to happen. Out of all sports in the world golf is the hardest for beginners to be good at for the simple reason that it requires a repetitive motion over and over again.  Even professionals, the likes of Tiger Woods and VJ Singh practice for at least 4 hours or 600 golf balls and they still are unable to be perfect with every shot.

The good news: The best way to play golf is relaxed, and high school golf is the most relaxing experience ever. Sure you're competing, but you're also laughing and casually chatting with your teamates and your opponents.  The game is made better when you're a good sport because that in return makes them be a good sport to you.

In conclusion, for me it's been fun because I've worked hard at it and those moments that I do really well shows how hard work can pay off. But even for the seniors who were still on JV they had a great time just competing, working on their own game, and just making it work for them. It's true, not many people walk out on a golf team.

Answer 12

yes, it is a relaxing sport but you have to be calm bc every shot is not going to be your best.

Answer 13

It's VERY fun.  Addictive and a great way to enjoy the outdoor.

Answer 14

its the best sport ever...but dont get into it if you dont want to put in the time because it can become extremely frustrating. get lessons right away becuase then you dont have to break bad habits down the road you can just learn the right way the first time

Answer 15

Golf is great, but most people don't just pick it up and are good. It takes lots of practice but if you want something that doesn't have a huge crowd hoarding you then you're probably good with golf.

Answer 16

golf is fun once you learn.  but to be honest its not something you can pick up in one year and just make the high school team.  It takes a lot of practice and devotion and like one of the other responses said, its can be extremely frustrating.  I've been playing for almost 7 years and I still don't think I'm good enough to play for my old high school team.  But to answer your question yes you should absolutely get out there and learn.  it's such an awesome game once you get the hang of it.

Answer 17

golf is not for everyone. it's very similar to chess. you spend minutes or hours thinking, planning, strategizing etc. and then your move is over in a split second, then the cycle starts again. also, it's a very demanding sport in terms of execution. the margin of error is tiny or non-existent. it's very frustrating to practice thousands of times, and then s***w up on the 1 time it counts.

My advice, if you need some clubs to pad your college application, is bowling team. not expensive, not difficult, not hard to learn.

Answer 18

I think it is boring, but i dont know what people say about golf
