What do you get from golf?

The enjoyment of sharing social intercourse with a diverse group of people (and the humour which goes with it)
The highs and the lows in just about every round I play
Excersise which is actually enjoyable and not too taxing
A sense of achievement (even if it's just managing to get out of the rough or from under the lip of a bunker I shouldn't have got into in the first place)
Disqualification for forgetting to sign in the PSI (computer) before a competition
A possible ban for playing in the fog
An excellent pint (or two) of guiness over which to share your good shots with fellow golfers (and revelling over the tales of others' nightmares.

Apart from that I get absolutely nothing from golf. (But I'll always be coming back for more (of whatever it is))
 
95 bad shots can be easily forgotten but I always remember the 1 fabulous drive straight down the middle. A few seconds out of 4 hours but it's still worth waiting for.
