Or like watching it. If not just watch this and tell me what you think. Its only 2 minutes long.

I have a love/hate relationship with hitting golf balls. I've invested a lot of time and money on the range and learning via internet. Nevertheless, watching golf on TV is tedious. The big problem is that the broadcast spends too much time not covering the golf. Too much time is spent showing interviews with old guys and showing the broadcasters talking to each other.

Does Mario Golf Toadstool Tour count?

Wow! That was a great shot, with a nice bit of suspense at the end. The announcers explained the problems Tiger had to solve. I didn't catch his choice of club, though. Perhaps it was earlier.

As for me, I started taking lessons about 2 years ago and had to stop due to a series of injuries. When I'm not injured, I try to practice when I can. Golf is the one sport for which I have any aptitude. I actually have some idea of where the ball is going to go after I hit it. I also don't have to worry about the ball moving, or what my teammates are doing with it. It's really a great Aspie sport, if you like to solve problems. If you hit a bad shot, that just presents another problem to solve. You play it alone, even if you're in a group. If you're an extravert, you get to be around people. If you can't talk to them, which also happens to NTs, you can just concentrate on your game.

Since I took up golf, I watch it. I try to learn what I can and like to see and hear how the pros solve the problems they see. I don't like pro-ams when guys like Shaquille O'Neill are playing. I saw him hit a bad tee shot and cuss afterwards. His problem was that he was concentrating on the outcome, rather than the shot itself.
