I have spent that last few years trying to get away from being frustrated by my golf ability. Sometimes frustration rears its head, and that's fine. It usually happens if I'm not properly fed, or I have been drinking.
But these days I have taught myself that if my game isn't performing as expected, and I find my self building frustration, to stop what I am doing. If I'm trying to play to a certain score, I stop and play multiple balls. If I'm having distance issues or missing balls off the tee, I'll move up a box. If I'm with a group and my game goes to hell, those aren't really options, so I will do everything I can to laugh at my misfortune (alcohol helps in this case.)
I love golf, and the thought of being on a golf course to ever let it get to me enough that I would want to leave (the course or the game.) A few years ago may have been different.
