Where else can you go and let our your frustrations, by swinging a club at a ball and driving it 200 yards downrange, and have a ton of fun at the same time?

Thats what getting started with golf was like for me. I went to the driving range two to three times a week and spent hours just having fun. I wasnt thinking about what club I was using, what the best approach to the green would be, or trying to read the green to make birdie with one putt.

I was having a blast smashing that little white ball and driving it as far as I could.

Then I got the idea that it would be a great time walking all over golf courses chasing that little white ball and trying to put it into a small cup.

It sure wasnt just taking a whack anymore. Now it was about strategy and scores. Now it was about choosing which number club to use. What approach do I take in reading my next putt?

I love golf, but it was more like operating a business than spending time playing my favorite sport.
