Well, I used to belong to a club in Kenosha, WI. Played 2 or 3 times per
week for a few years.

And I *still* sucked, so I started flying...

And I was just the opposite. About 1993 I joined a local country club
for $500 and $60 per month. 27 hole course and the cheapest golf in
town if you played more than once a week. I played often and got my
handicap down to 5. This with store bought clubs and not much in the
way of practice and no lessons. Then I asked myself what's the point?
To get better would require better clubs, much more practice and work
with a pro. But to what end? I came in third in the club championship
that summer, shooting 76 and 75. I've hardly played since. I play a
few times a year and can shoot in the upper 70's when I try. I may pick
it back up again when the kids go to college.
