15. I can't break 90 because I don't play enough.

When I went out once or twice a week my game progressed rapidly. As a youth I learned from pros -- the girl I wanted to date in Jr. High was the daughter of a prominent local surgeon, and I had to play golf with him before I could hang around with her, so I got some good instruction before I teed off.

Off course good clubs are going to make a difference. The first clubs I upgraded were my driver and putter. Helped a lot. But my point was, you don't NEED that to just have fun and enjoy the day with some friends. As with snowboarding, I know I'll never reach a professional level. I'm not trying to,and it shouldn't be the focus.

I wouldn't say golf is too hard. It's too frustrating. You can play for years and still suck. OTOH, I had advanced to black/double black diamonds in my second season snowboarding.
