I play for straight up fun. A good golf day is one where I had a blast playing. I make brilliant shots; I make absurd mistakes (like, how many freaking times do I need to remind myself head down and eye on the ball???); it's all good. If I have to take it seriously it won't be fun anymore because I don't enjoy being aggravated.
Make some good shots, some not so good, but as long as I get out and play, I enjoy myself. A bad day on the golf course is better than a good day at work.

I don't know why, but I never get angry when I play. Golf is relaxing for me especially if it's a nice day out. This past Sunday on the golf course was beautiful. Hit some good shots, some not so good. Still trying to break 100, yeah, that's how bad I am. And for the most part, it's my aim that's hurting me, but I'll get better.I used to think that. The game became so maddening to me that I really don't play anymore. Last time out was with my nephew who hits it like a young pro, just kills the ball, and I just give him pointers, caddy for him, just guy time. Way more enjoyable than when I was trying to play well. I just don't have a gift for the game so, it was always a grind.

Golf Balls really fly when hit with a .22 LR

why ...
Do you observe all the rules? Do you take mulligans? What about shots in the water or otherwise out of bounds? Do you enjoy playing?
I used to play to a legit 8 but I'd be lucky to break 95 now. Count 'em all.
The only rule I'd not follow is a blown T shot if I didn't play a provisional. If it was in the water without having crossed in bounds or lost or OB, I'd take a stroke and a drop instead of going back to the freaking T.
I love the game but, I hate it. It's the only thing I've ever done, besides marriage, that more effort didn't yield better results.
I got the ball through the windmill and into the pirate ship in one putt last vacation.
I got a 53 today for 9 holes. I'm pleased. It's my 4th time golfing this century. I could have saved a few strokes on some really poorly hit wedges. Still no pars but I'm coming closer.
