I had no idea this thread existed, thanks for the bump Boone. Sorry to read about your old course but sounds like they got just what they deserved.
As for me I am a recovering addict. I learned when I was 13 but never got any good despite playing a lot in my bartending days. Took a lesson and really took off, that turned me into an addict. When you have a change of clothes in the car to catch a quick nine after work, then at times change back into your shirt and tie to conceal just how often I did this before entering the house you are an addict.
I got pretty good but my resume is deceiving. My last official handicap was 6.9, I have 2 hole in ones and once shot back to back rounds of 69 and 70 (with a double on 18) but I was never that good. I got to a 6.9 by playing hard courses where you just need to shoot an 81, the 87's and 89's I shot half the time do not record as they only count the best rounds for some reason. On the rare occasion when I got matched up with a legit 5 or 6 I was at a huge disadvantage because that guy was way more consistant than I ever was.
I always wondered like skiing and fishing if I would ever lose the golf bug I had for 30 years. In my late 50's it happened, not sure why but I'm no longer driven to play golf at every opportunity. Not playing and age have sucked away my game, since I no longer play well I lost the desire to go out. It's a viscious cycle.
.
Got a job at a golf course where I can play for free. Even with that I probably played 9 holes a week last season, I plan on changing that this year.
