even wild turkeys,deer and even foxes on back east courses.

You're with your buddies who shoot about the same you do, the beer wench (hope that term is PC) comes around periodically with drinks and food, you might have a small wager on the round, or on a particular shot to see who gets closest to the hole. You laugh at your buddies screw ups, they laugh at yours, but you all praise the good shots.

It's fun if you get bitten by the golf bug. Some do, some don't.

What gets you is when you hit a good, satisfying shot right on the sweet spot. It keeps you coming back hoping to hit more of the good ones.

It also makes you appreciate the pros who take 30-40 shots less than you do to complete a round.

Try it one time and get back to us. It's not boring when you're out there.
