I'm starting work at a golf course this summer and was wondering if golf is hard to learn/play.

Any insights?

easiest sport ever invented

Word?

Expensive as fuck, difficulty depends on your expectations

Does not have to be very expensive?
Golf can be as hard as you want it to be. I'm proffesional and still thinks its insanly hard.

Well if you go less than 10 times per year it won't be so bad

its hard at first .. the only way to get good at it is to play alot but like meatstick said its expensive

Not that hard, it just take time and patience.

I started playing golf last year. I wasnt good at all, but i then started playing 9 holes every week or every two weeks, and also going at a golf range to practice my shot, and now im doing well.

So if golf difficult? No. It only take times and concentration. But sometimes, when you are not in good shape, it can be hard. Im not on the best shape and when i walk a 9 holes at 30celcius, it kills me.

If you are working on a golf course, its a good way to start since you probably can practice easily, and can ask your collegue for tips/advices.

People will say golf is easy because it actually looks easy. When you watch tv and a guy drives 400 yards per shot, ofc it looks easy. But its way more calculated than that. You need to calculate wind, precision, ball effect, your feet, etc...

Ask someone who think golf is easy to do a 9 hole when its 30celcius. He will give up after 2 holes. Not because it would be boring (ofc he will say that), but because he wont be able to even touch the ball. So it would annoy him.

And golf isnt that expensive, idk why it would be, you can be good even with a cheap set

Someone post robbie williams stand up golf bit.

LoL

Also to answer your queation, golf can be hard depending on how fast you get a handle on it and if youre an honest score keeper. Any one can shoot just over par when they are only counting their best shots and half the puts.
