I'm sorry you were beat up man. But had played sports like hockey and football since I was old enough to do so.
I was even on my way to going pro with hockey. I played MTHL (which is the equivalent of professional hockey for kids in Canada), all the way until I met a chick and decided to not risk things (not a good chance of going pro) and get a real job.
I always thought golf was shit when i saw it on TV too. My dad used to watch it and i would fight with him to change the channel.
I went out on day, when i was 20, to play golf and thought i would be a natural. Hell, iv been to the driving range a few times. I could hit that damn ball, and swing that damn club fast and hard.
but hey.. i shot 155 (that's real bad) on a executive par 66 course. I was fucking pissed !
And the more angry and aggressive I got, the worse i did.
All the people i went with, who are lawyers and a 'pencil neck geeks', shot 80 - 90's.
You can imagine how embarrassed i felt. Me, a thick muscle bound guy (compared to these fucks at least) getting my ass whipped.
That's life...
Another reason why people dont play golf when they are young is because golf is fucking expensive to play. I play once a week, at $150 per round.
Now that i am good.. my strength helps me. i hit it long and shoot 82-88 depending on the course.
I know where your coming from man... cuz your opinion used to be mine as well...
you need to go out and play. If your ever in the Toronto area in Canada, icq me and ill take you out for a round.
