wanting to be away from people for 4 hours. I go hit balls at lunch so that i have a reason not to go to lunch with my coworkers. plus, it gets me out for some fresh air and lets me take out my aggression.
there is nothing more frustrating than golf, but there is almost nothing that feels as good as when you hit a really solid shot. there are rounds where I have hit 1 good shot, but that shot made me want to go play some more.
also, I have tried to keep with it many times in the past, but I always just wanted to play. Now I enjoy going to the range (probably only because it's preferable to being at work), so I think I have a better chance to stick with it. also, the short game part of it is fun and it's the part that makes you score a lot better.
I rarely play, but I hit balls every day.
