'played golf' for the first time today. went down to a driving range where you just hit some balls out into the open

half of the time I either missed or scraped the ground as the ball was hit. and when I did hit the ball, it didn't go straight on

it was p fun, much more exciting than I thought. it makes me want to play golf seriously. but damn the sport is harder than it looks

Golf is fun to play even if you're pretty bad at it. Just expensive for new people to get into

i've seen the prices of some of the clubs...it's very expensive. it's fun to play if you're bad, but it can be embarrassing

the driving range I went to was decent. you get a bay with up to 4 people, 120 balls, 1 hour for £12. so that can end up costing £3 per person which is incredibly cheap

On the bright side, if you're really good at mini golf, that means you're probably decently good at what's generally considered the toughest part of regular golf: the putting.

putting style shots are fine, but my aim with swinging is the toughest part

Maybe the toughest part to master.

The thing about Golf is you will always suck at it. There's no shame in it. If you approach it as something thats just fun and no pressure on yourself you'll really get into it

Definitely harder than just "swing the club at it".

I've been playing for maybe 10 years (infrequently) and it's still a challenge to hit it straight. I still can't even use my driver correctly. I hit further and straighter with my 3.

You can hit through a windmill but can't hit in an open field? Turn in your fluorescent-colored ball and get out of here!

This. Equating the two is like equating playing horse with playing actual basketball. Both are fun, but skill in the former doesn't remotely mean you're skilled in the latter.
