I must admit I thought golf gave men a good excuse to wear outrageous clothes until I took up cycling!!

I played it for a while, but I found the early days more entertaining, when I started getting good the fun went out of it and I stopped playing

I guess being on tour so much made it difficult to get a game in.

As I use to work on a golf course, I ended up playing a lot of golf and got down to Scratch handicap.

That's why I'd love a job at a shooting range.
I play twice a week. 9 on Wednesday and 18 on Thursday.
Best I got to was 18...... I am now off 29.
One of the good things is that my handicap allows me to compete with someone off eg 5.
Our clubhouse is lovely. Absolutely no snobs.....everyone is down to earth, your normal Joe Bloggs.
Another good thing but SOOO frustrating is you play one week and think "I've got it" as everything clicks. Next week you play like an absolute novice.

That's what brings you back though.
The idea is not to go in the long grass

Once i took a drive. My friend set up the tee how he thinks it should be based off my swing. I managed to completely shatter the tee and the ball dropped harmlessly on the spot where the tee was. Im sure he was taking the piss but alas i don't think i will make the PGA tour...Stop trying to hit it so hard.

Neither will I but I can smash a drive quite a distance when required, it's the tippy tappy stuff that gets me.
My friends tried to do the same with my tee height for years and I did try and copy them as the wooden tee was apparently the correct way to do it. Until 2 of us went to the same pro for a lesson and he used the same white plastic castle tee that I wanted to use. There is no right and wrong, it's the same as cycling, do what works or feels good to you.
