It's a very frustrating game. I've played a few times, although not recently. My brother is quite into it and I used to tag along. The main problem is how you can go one week and everything you hit is brilliant, then the following week you go brimming with confidence, only to spend most of your time trying to find your ball in some woods. I'd like to get back into it though. One of my mates has expressed an interest in going halves on a decent set of clubs and checking out a few courses near where I'm moving to.
It's a seductive game though, easy to convince yourself you can actually play it. I think after a round good golfers probably remember the bad shots they hit, whereas shit golfers like me only remember the couple of good ones then return brimming with false confidence.
I just bought myself another copy of this after I lent mine out and never got it back:
