I played with some 13 year old this year who was playing from the back tees. What a jerk. Also I saved his cart from rolling into a pond.

Just practice 3-5 clubs, put it in play off the tee, and play to the shots you have.

It's all about practice. Golf seems easier the more I practice it because of the form I think. Isn't the secret to good golf is in the form and finish pose? hit, front, up and stuff

Benefits for learning how to hit a tiny ball hundreds of meters away into a hole wih a metal club in an arena that has to be meticulously maintained with contstant mowing?

I've been playing literally my entire life since my dad was a golf teacher growing up and I still suck. Well, I don't suck, I'm probably better than 90% of golfers out there, but I could have been a scratch golfer had I focused more on golf instead of playing video games. Anyway, if you want to get better go get a lesson and learn how to grip the club properly then hit a million golf balls on the range, preferably off a mat. Bad players need to stop hitting off of shitty public grass that's been torn up by other hacks. You aren't going to get better that way. Here's a free tip also; hit an entire bucket of balls with your feet together. Multiple buckets even.

It seems like hitting off mats lets you get away with bad low point consistency as long as your swing plane isnt too steep
>>
Just hit the ball, not that hard.
But for a amerimutt nigger it seems like it!

Hitting off mats allows you to feel what it's like to make good contact with the ball. You aren't learning anything hitting off of mangled grass standing in divots so your stance is imbalanced and hitting off of dirt. Good players can make it work, but bad players trying to get better are not do themselves any favors. I know you think it's what you're supposed to do since you play on grass on the course, but the course grass (at a decent public course) is different grass than the range. I've played golf since I was old enough to stand up and the club I practiced and played at from the time I was 5 until I graduated high school had mats on the range. It's way more consistent since every lie is the same allowing you to work on your swing and learning how to compress the ball.

there are a million better things to do than golf but lots of people like it. You telling me you dont do something that is only fun but zero benefit? You are on here for example, zero benefit and just a waste of your life.

It's a middle-class sport, not a poorfag sport.

it is a sport, there's a reason most great athletes in other sports become obsessed with it when they retire

>>158578958
Just get a couple of lessons at a place with trackman and the swing recording stuff. Being able to see my swing and why it looked retarded did more for me than anything else.

golf is a great litmus test for the testosterone levels of anons, because you have to be a limp wristed fag to hate golf.
