I started playing golf again.......

[Bypass]

I have lost 10 pounds in the last two weeks with a little eating better and the exercise I am getting on the course.

Loving it. I wish I had started sooner.

You can do it too. I'm hoping to drop a hundred pounds by next year at this time. Anyways as my golf game is improving my fat ass is disappearing. Win win.

Golfing, whether you cart or walk is a lot of exercise and you use a lot of muscles. As long as you're not drinking 10 beers during a round it's good for the "old man fitness". A great uncle of mine used to golf everyday on some amazing SoCal courses. Fit as hell, only thing that took him from this world was heart break from losing my aunt when she passed.

I always tell my wife, if there is a sport in Heaven...it's got to be golf....

Well yeah. They have the room and the time.

Rugby Union is the game they play in heaven.

You can see this blokes soul heading up there just as his head whip lashes into that other blokes back.

Always thought golf was a drinking game....who knew

George Bernard Shaw observed that golf was a good walk spoiled.

Sorry, couldn't help myself....

There once was a time I was very serious about Golf, I would walk all 18 holes. Great time, but to be any good it requires you to play A LOT. These days I hold your PoV.

It would be easy for me to say stuff like, Golf wastes water, Golf is for rich guys with too much time, Golf in Vegas is like sticking your whole body in a convection oven for several hours a day and calling it healthy.

But the real truth is, I just suck at it. Can't hit that little ball for nuthin' Maybe I'm too close to the ground. Lots of grass goes flying.

I love to golf, I'm just not good at any part of it...lol!!!

I do enjoy it a lot. I've been playing it ever since I was in 2nd grade. Spent a lot of time on the golf course with my father and my siblings and I cherish the chances I've had to play with them. The only good thing about COVID was the fact that I could come home and play golf with my family again, even if it's socially distanced. Plus, it's great to walk 18 holes in sweltering heat because I do need to get used to hot and humid summers. All due respect to Polar Bear, I have no idea how anyone can drink and play golf.

Your problem is that you're good at golf. We're not.

Oh man. I'm not good. Too much time on the course, not enough time on the range or on the chipping/pitching green. Still though, even when I'm playing badly, it's a good bonding experience.

Just hit the nicest 4 iron of my life. I thought I had actually made it which would would been a 2 since I couldn't see the cup from where I was. I "settled" for eagle.

4 Iron is a tough club to hit. I have a thought time hitting anything above a 6 iron. I can often hit my 7 iron further than a 4, just due to the ball flight.

I don't think you're alone in that. Most golfers have a difficult time hitting lower lofted clubs, which is why hybrids have become so popular.

Problem is I cannot hit those either

I used to golf, enjoyed it. Was a solid "OK-to-decent." My favorite club was a 5 iron, but yeah, those mid/low-loft clubs can be difficult. My Achilles heel are clubs. I'd rather just play irons.
