Thats why golf's difficulty is largely underrated. Not only do you have to be good, you have to be godly consistent.

You start by paying for a caddy and a coach (although mine needs a lot of coaching it seems ), for the balls and clubs you use. All of these are rated with the best costing the most money.

Then you pay for your weekly training (about $350 a week - short game/long game, or you can play a round). Then if you enter a tournament, that costs more.

And I was certainly nowhere near that. I guess that is why golf is a Gentleman's (and Ladies') game - if you get too cocky, it soon comes back to bite you where it hurts.

A politically correct post???

And I hate women who are 'too cocky'.

I don't get it but I also stopped getting NASN as it was a waste of money as only thing I watch is baseball on it at the moment and I have the MLB pass so don't need NASN, Setanta is also for me a bit of a waste of money as usually I work Sundays, when I'm working only games I get to see are Championship games on a Friday, PPV on a Saturday and any early games they show plus the La Liga games Saturday night and Sunday the first half of the prem game.

Yep. That, and it is a sport where if you let your mind stick to one mistake, that mistake will snowball and snowball and snowball until you are dead last at +17.

I don't have Setanta either. Just thought I'd mention it.

You have to pay for 12 months, if you are on Sky.
