Beat me to it
Time to give it all in and quit, i just do not enjoy it anymore
- Thread starter Wolfman
- Start date
Beat me to it
It's a tough decision but I guess if there isn't an enjoyment then why not do something better. Is it worth keeping the clubs, shoes etc just in case you get the urge in the future

I started playing relatively late in life [35/36]... Have given up the game on more than one occassion for a couple years or more... Then be pleased I never sold my kit as something/someone has re-kindled my interest...
My suggestion would be to take the winter off... Not sell your kit to the 'vultures' just yet and have a re-think in the spring... A man has got to have something to do at the week-ends!

Keep it, pack up and dont play until next spring, I bet you will get the bug back.
If not, then sell it all.
Goodluck.

I've had moments (many) when I thought about quitting the game but immediately followed by a sense of panic at the very prospect. If you have thought about it and not had such a panic moment and in the cold light of day can consider a life without golf then I'd say perhaps it is time to find something else you can enjoy and achieve the goals you set.
Whatever you find/decide I wish you the very best of luck and enjoyment...

I would keep your gear short term
Prob until the spring, you may get better price. This way at least if you still have no desire to play you've not lost anything. If you do want to play your not having to start from scratch!
On a side note bagsy the trolley!

I started late in life ,had clubs etc for 5 years only being able to play odd occasion,due to work commitments and a bit of laziness,hence I am a high handicapper,I also thought about selling clubs,etc.But was able to get a few games around christmas time and joined my first club,getting out more since joining and have got the hunger back even more than when I first started.Why don't you stow gear away like others have said till next year and see how you feel.Maybe your other interest will be able to work alongside your golf.I also go carp fishing which can be very relaxing.But if you decide not to comeback to golf,I give you all the best wishes for whatever your other interests are ,enjoy.

I had clubs for years and never really used them slashed my way round. I am now having lessons and having many bad bad bad rounds, but I have seen improvement in my game and hope more will come. I am also just to damn tight after lessons to give up and will keep going through practise to make myself better. I also think you give yoursel the winter off and look again in Spring. Nothing is lost and hey who knows one day over winter you ight look at those clubs and think, Hey I really want a game today. If not you've lost nothing waiting till Spring.

Its a shame you feel that way Wolfman, but it is supposed to be enjoyable and if its not I can understand your feelings. l would echo the comment about not being too hasty at getting rid of your clubs though.

Thanks for all the comments and best wishes
My mind is still made up, but will wait until later in the week before advertising on here first my collection of gear
My other past hobbies have been guitar ( live bands gigging in pubs mainly ) and fishing, carp. coarse etc
I always like to have one main hobby to get away from daily life, i still play the guitar but at home instead of live performances
For me the hobby must be fun and rewarding, golf now is neither hence the decision

I wouldn't sell your stuff too hastily! I started when I was 14 and sold my clubs when I was 20 after a bad spell. Only to pick the clubs up again 1 year later and buy everything again. COST A FORTUNE!!! Now 28 I will never ever sell my stuff again no matter how much I fall in and out of love with the game.

Wolfman, don't know if you've heard, but they say that less than 10% of amateur golfers shoot less than a 100.
Wouldn't you like to still be in that 10%?
I'll echo what others have said, please don't be too hasty selling your gear. Have you thought about when you retire, when you will have so much more time to practice and play?
Hope you make the right choice for yourself.

For what it's work I think you are bring quite brave. It's never easy to admit that something isn't working and take the decision to change it. It would probably be easier to keep hacking round and being unhappy than do what you are....good luck.
