The guy wants to save money and has high expectations for himself. Big deal.

Sounds like he plays fairly well no doubt but I guess if you ain't into it you ain't into it.

You'll be back though dash.

Best of luck.

well, what I was going to say was, he is right... but hes 100 percent wrong.
I have high expectations... I know how long I have been playing and how good I should be (think I should be... KNOW I should be...)
How annoying would it be to shoot an 87, without your best stuff, or a 97 or a 107... an equal of your best score... doesn't matter you would be the same amount of upset, because you KNOW you could have done better. that's why Pros arnt happy with even par on Thursday. They hold themselves higher than that.

am I grateful I have enough talent to play that well... heck yes. Love the game, love that I can shoot well, love this site, love learning about stuff. I just came away realizing a couple of things that day...

Golf is just a game, its my favorite sport, but I will never be as good as I want to be... and that's frustrating.

and I have a family to take care of, and right now money is tight. So why waist so much money, on something that's just a game, and relatively frustrating at the moment?
I was just venting... cant really do it to my wife, she wouldn't understand like you guys do...

Don't take this the wrong way but is this you talking or the wife talking? Seems like you don't really want to take a break, your still here after announcing your quitting/ taking a break, almost a week ago. I don't believe you and your giving advice in another thread, make up your mind... PLEASE... LOL.
