There's been some recent talk in threads about skills that may be declining a bit and how to get it back....so it got me thinking - most days I'm OK with playing bad golf.
Let me preface this by saying that playing good golf is much more enjoyable, but as my time to devote the game has shrunk (a 1.5 year old and #2 on the way in the next month) I've tried putting my focus on just getting away and being outdoors. My wife thinks I enjoy being away from the family, but nothing could be farther from the truth - I just love everything about the game and even when I'm playing terrible I'm still playing and tinkering and trying to get better. I also think that mentally golf provides the perfect space for me to relax and re-focus. Even when I play badly I still come home calm and in a good mood.
So I was just curious what the rest of THP thinks. Can you be OK with playing bad golf? Or does it have to be successful for you to enjoy it?
