I like telling everyone I meet about the time I shot 77 on some public course in North Carolina.

Sometimes I subsequently tell them that I then shot 85 on the back nine, sometimes I don't

My nearest golf course backs onto a closed mental hospital that was built in like the 30s and looks creepy as poo poo. There's also heaps of kangaroos that are so accustomed to people they just lie there smashing grass while you walk to hit your ball. Some of them don't even get up if you have to step over them.

Goddamn I gotta go to Australia.

Golf is cool to play and slightly less cool to watch. Golf courses are an enormous waste of space though.

Playing something like Tiger Woods PGA Tour helps too. I hung out with these friends in college whose favorite past time was playing PGA Tour 2003 and smoking lots of weed. I got way into it and most of the women I've dated got into it too when I introduced them to it.

Bearing in mind this is coming from somebody who spent multiple years of their life painting tiny plastic spacemen, I can't understand why anybody would like golf.

My parents got into golf late in their life as an activity both can do together and be on the same skill level. I like the mental aspects of it but never got into the sport enough to want to watch it on TV.

Best golf game IMO was/is the Hot Shots Golf (now Everybody's Golf) series for the Sony PlayStation series. Incredibly meditative & cartoony enough to get into if you're young. Admittedly I never played the Mario golf series though.

Disc golf courses are usually free or a couple bucks to play, they don’t need watering, and you can pick up a starter set of discs for 30$ or get em cheaper at play it again.

Golf is very fun. I live in an area where it’s a huge part of life, due to the courses and professionals who are local. But I’ve always enjoyed the nature of the game and the opportunities it’s setup presents - the actual sport is fun only if you’re the type of person who enjoys slow growing hobbies that you’ll suck at for a very long time

I honestly didn't struggle too much. The MSF was pretty easy for me, all in all. I minored in math with my economics degree and got an honors business certificate from law school. I didn't have any of the pre-reqs, but still breezed through. Finished with a 3.8 and near the top of the class.

I've got a case in federal court right now that I will hopefully get dismissed with prejudice in the next few weeks. I've already won at each step so far (transferred venue, beat appeal, and dismissed one complaint without prejudice), and I've got multiple well supported grounds for to finish it.

Know anyone that's hiring a third year attorney with experience all over the place and a masters in finance?

I feel like we have a lot of lawyer posters.

I’m also an attorney, and I occasionally enjoy a round of golf with my dad or at a bachelor party or something. But I played baseball my entire life through college and in rec leagues after college, so my mechanics are forever hosed and I slice the hell out of the ball because I rotate my hips like in a baseball swing. So I avoid golfing where it’s not ok to embarrass myself, ie 95% of the time

I enjoy golf because it's the only sport/game I can play with my friends on a somewhat equal footing, given my terribly broken body.

Also you get to drive tiny cars, usually while drunk.

You woulda been fine playing with me. You remember that story a decade ago about Obama bowling a 37? I've bowled a couple of frames where he would have beaten me. My throws almost always brake hard left for some reason. Basically I have to aim for the right gutter About a third the way down.
