you certainly have a handicap...

[IroNat]

I was a 2 handicap in my early 30s.

Haven't played in 20+ years.

Gave it up due to bad knee.

[Body-Buildah]

Tried it a couple times way back in the day, felt like an utter H-Mo so gave it up instantly.

To play golf well takes a lot of practice.  A lot.

You have to play and practice several times a week so it's very time consuming.

I used to play a few times a week and practice (hit balls and practice short game) even more often.

It's very addicting once you get into it, even if you stink.  I was wholly consumed by golf for quite a few years.

Similar to how some people get addicted to exercising and have to do it all the time. 

I was similarly consumed by bodybuilding for a few years.

The endorphin rush methinks.

I intentionally did not expose my son to golf so he did not waste his time chasing it.

I do enjoy the driving range to be honest. Though, havent done that in quite a long time either.

You just have an Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (not a bad thing if you learn to use it to your advantage)

That's what the wife says.

Most likely.  He became a Collegiate All-American tennis player instead.

Taught himself.  Never had a lesson.

He had outstanding hand-eye coordination right from birth.  Fast too.

Put him in a basketball league when he was 6 and he was knocking down 20 footers in games.  Crazy.

If they combine 10 shots.

Tricep kickbacks and the adductor machine don't really translate to the links.

[Cook]

I remember the first time I played golf.I was weighing about 240 so I get in the first T box.A couple of old guys are waiting and one them says hey a big boy bet he can hit it far. So now I’m thinking I better knock the shit out of this thing. I reached back and swung as hard as I possibly could.Sliced that damn thing into the next county.No more golf.

bhank: have you considered posting fewer threads?

Sounds about right. I was addicted to exercising when I was younger. It seems like I go through phases.

I used to be big into sports cards as a kid, then again as an adult. Then I got into comic books, cars, and now it's gambling   

I guess for many humans, we just try to find an enjoyable way to pass the time. Life can get boring.

Which is why I quit.  No challenge.

Gambling? Haha what a weak willed sack of shit. Get a bastard job you cunt

[King Shizzo]

You have never gambled, gypsy? Why would that make someone weak?

I should ask you, if you have ever screwed customers on a bill by overcharging. People in your line of work can manipulate a bill anyway you see fit.

Extortion even happens in the medical field. Hospitals should never be run as a business.

Is it about saving lives or making money?

You mentioned gambling along with things your big into, the odd bet now and then is vastly different to doing it constantly which destroys lives.

What exactly is overcharging? I haven’t itemised a quote for a customer in years and if one ever asked me to I’d tell them to get fucked, I’m free to charge whatever I want per job it’s the beauty of private work unlike site work where your paid per m2 laid, price is quoted before job and is fixed unless they ask for extras 

 

[ThisisOverload]

I played once a week for about 5 years.

Never was that good, but i could hit the ball straight, which is half the battle.

I was taught by a guy i worked with who was incredible.

Learned to swing smooth and not worry about power. Let the club do the work.

We played almost every Friday, since we worked half days. Also hit balls at the range on Tuesday.

It takes an insane amount of practice and devotion.

I had knee surgery and never got back into it. Haven't played in 10 years.

I do Top Golf a few times a year.

I can still crush them 300+ yards with a driver.

So basically you are implying that you fuck them softly. "I am free to charge whatever I want"......that means you charge even more than a fair share of profit.

How many customers have you screwed over the years? You probably laugh about it at your local pub eating bangers and mash.

I’ve screwed nobody over ever and have taken the financial hit myself many times when unforeseen expenses have cropped up on jobs as I firmly stick to the fixed price and no money till completion that I put in my quotes. That comment was made in reference to overcharging as there is no set charge every job is different. The customer generally has several quotes to compare to before deciding so if I was “overcharging” it would show and would never win any jobs you fat brain dead moron
