That is the truth, I can attest to that. Hell, I'm living proof! I paid $49.99 (1980s) for my set of golf clubs from Costco, bag included. It is possible I spent more money on lost balls! Drop a new one, take the penalty and play on.In his book, Harvey Penick says "the woods are full of long drivers."
I was often told to take lessons and practice. I never had the time. I was happy "hacking" my way around the course 2 or 3 times a year. I regret not having spent more time playing golf. It is a grand game and I enjoyed it.
And I thought it was going to be easy. I could easily hit a baseball moving at 80-90mph. I could even hit curve balls. The golf ball is just sitting there. What can be hard about it? Was I ever wrong!
It is not a game of brute strength. It is a game of precision.
