What kind of golfer are you?

I've been playing a lot on my local executive course because I can play as many holes as I want for 15 dollars. 

I tend to see two kinds of golfers out there:

1.)  Super casual golfers who are just out there to smack the ball around.  

2.) Serious golfers who are on a mission to improve. 

I tend to identify with the second group.  The thing is, it has nothing to do with your current ability level.  It has everything to do with mindset.  I consider myself a student of the game even though I am a mid/high handicapper.  I want swing results but I want to know WHY I got those results.  I am not just going to guess at my swing faults and think my way to lower scores.   I am in it for the long haul and know that if I am strategic and consistent, I will continue to improve every season.  

Does anyone else feel that there are too many golfers out there that are just kind of going through the motions because it's the thing to do with their buddies? 

I am retired and play about 5 times a week, and I am keen to improve. However, as long as someone else doesn't damage the course, i don't care why they play. I think it's fine Mr Smith and his son want to have a whack around, and I think it's great if Tiger Woods wants to play with him. Golf should be for everyone !!
