I have hitting golf balls at the range for 1 1/2 years. never on the course since i don't have any friends and I am not good enough to play with strangers. my ballstriking has gotten pretty good in the past 2 weeks. But that has happened before before my stroke fell apart.

Because of my AS look and demeneanor , I get lots of angry glares at the driving range. I normally will later obsess on it with elaborate and rehearsed revenge scenarios. Wellanyway, with the exception of some assholes, hitting golfballs is decent exercise and not dependent upon social interaction. Except for the few bad tips I've received from well meaning strangers.

I play but not often, which I'm always meaning to change.

I've never used a driving range regular. They can be a little nerve racking, if people around you are hitting long.

Do you have routines to keep it interesting?

Have you had lessons?

I've had a couple.


I can't hit woods or get much distance, but I can be fairly straight.

I am taking lessons but have not played a round yet. Miniature golf was always fun. There was a course just a mile from my home where I grew up. Golf seems like it could be very relaxing if you have the right attitude. My Cockatoo enjoys watching me putt on the living room floor. She jumps on the putter and hangs upside down to watch it hit the ball.

lol. I took lessons, and golf seems fun. Me, my mom, my dad, my cousin, and maybe even my pastor are going to try to go golfing this summer. On a course i mean.

We have a cool little par 3 course that is cheap to play on and it is pretty nice. I want to get into some more golf but it's hard to throw in with the rest of the sports.

I play EXTREME Golf, in the middle of the city. You can get some pretty nice shots rebounding off billboards and stuff, but you have to be careful for irate drivers if you hit car windows.

We slam some golf balls at the beach and then go get the balls when the tide is out. The sand bars go out for a mile when the tide is out, sometimes we even make sand-bar golf courses.

I like Golf, haven't play a proper full game on a golf course, just a few rounds. Mostly we do driving practice. Extreme Golf is fun but quite hazardous and prone to cheating. A good course is about three kilometres if you're in a rural town. My brother and I play Speed Golf which heart-attack inducing and not suitable for pregnant women and the elderly.
