It's not addicting.

Just at work, replying to this thread, thinking about how I'm going to attack #3 later today (Par 4-370, thick trees both sides of the fairway, two ditches on each side at 280 off the tee)

hmmm.
4 iron off the tee, or driver?

Golf is different from any other sport. If you play squash (as I did a lot of years in my life), you have to concentrate the whole time in the game, you can't talk durning it is played and if you play with someone who is at a very different level from yours its boring. In golf you walk and chat with your partner (I usually play with the same people who have become my closest friends, with my girlfriend, etc). I can play with Phil Michelson and my grandma at the same time and have a nice time (without keeping the good players ahead or the bad ones behind). That's what makes it a great sport!

I'm a surgeon, and the position I have now a days was offered in a golf course by a fellow surgeon who I played with once. SO that's getting something from your game, isn't it? lol

It's addicting because 99% of players can do bad, but still have the potential to do good.

Like almost everyone has the potential to hit a PERFECT ball on EVERY shot. Do they? No...but there is the chance.

Golf is absolutely addicting. I work at a course where I am around it for anywhere from 8 to 10 hours a day, so you would think that I would want to get away from golf when I got off work, but instead I hit the range for and hour or two. Did I mention that this is at ten o'clock at night, and for some reason there is no place I would rather be.

It is the most addicting, frustrating, sport I have ever played. I used to be a fairly good athlete and was always known for good sportsmanship. I don't know what it is about golf, but there are times I want to take my Sun Mountain cart and push it into the lake at the course.

I shoot a 39 on the front and a 46 (should have been 55) on the back. Just when you think you mastered it, the snap hook is back. After hitting 4-5 bad shots, one of your partner comments "you are coming out of your shoes". You slow down and start hitting great shots. 5 minutes later you are trying to crush the ball.

I play almost every day. I am an addict.

I'm addicted, no two ways about it.

But it saved me from taking a 60+ hour a week job that, at the time, a big consideration for me was that if I took it, I'd rarely get out to the golf course, except on weekends. Now I realize that, once I finish my degree, I'll earn more and spend fewer hours working than I would had I taken the aforementioned job. And I get to play golf 2-3x/week in the meantime!

Golf isn't just addicting, it's saving.

I always end up doing my chores first, but that's how I try to get out of them.

I've never had my clubs taken away, they know not to do that.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
