Understand that this question is coming from an adrenaline junkie - x-games type person and I am not trying to bad mouth the game or anything.
I hear all this talk about how wonderful golf is, but I don't get it. My little brother took me to a driving range once, and after a few hooks and slices I managed to pretty consistently place the ball where he would tell me to. He says I am a natural but I doubt it. There was nothing exciting about it. Just smacking the shit out of a ball. Now I never set foot on an actual course (except during winter exercises in Germany where we set up our maintenance area on a golf course) so I have no idea of the actual mechanics involved in the putt, chip shots, sand traps etc... I suppose there is a great deal of skill involved in getting these pieces of the game down. All I know is a bunch of terminology like what a eagle, birdie, bogie(sp) and what not is. So anyway, again I just don't get the appeal. Seems quite boring to me. So what is it that makes people want to spend a day on the course? What is the appeal? Is there some sort of calming effect that it has on you? Again I am not badmouthing the game, just trying to understand the appeal. Since my little brother is moving in with me today I might go out on the course with him and see what the big deal is. On that note, assuming that I do want to try golf, would you golfers suggest an inexpensive set of clubs from a pawn shop or Target to start off with? I am not one to invest a lot of $$ into something until I know I like it.
