Par4QC I have to venture that the pros are about the only reason golf still gets picked up at all as a recreation. It’s expensive, time consuming, frustrating and a generally perceived boring sport. Not exactly the path to major success amongst my generation and younger.
I like watching the elite players of the world and seeing what they do, you have to separate yourself from that, you aren’t a pro and don’t have half the talent these guys have. I haven’t stopped playing basketball because I can’t throw down a dunk from the foul line, shoot 90% for free throws or average a triple double, keep perspective and it’s fine.
