Not really a fan. Might be if I ever played though. When I was 13 or so, my dad bought be a club set. I'm a lefty so that was a novelty. He golfed. Enjoyed it. Figured he'd take me one Saturday to use my clubs. For context, I had never played before that day nor did I have any interest in it before that day. My parents were divorced, so I guess this was his attempt at bonding (something he was never good at). Anyway. So we go golfing and rent a cart. At some point during the day he says he's going to walk on ahead to the green, leaving me with the cart halfway through the fairway struggling to move the ball just a few yards at a time. At some point I look up and see dad waving me up. I can tell he's saying something to me, but he was too quiet for me to make it out. So of course I shout back, "WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU? WHAAAAT???" At that point he just turns around and begins to ignore me. I get my club bagged and hop into the cart to drive over to him. As I'm driving I'm trying to get his attention because obviously he didn't hear me earlier. "HEY DAD! WHAT DID YOU SAY? I COULDN'T HEAR YOU! TOO FAR AWAY!!!"
By the time I pulled in to pick him up he was pissed. Like I knew golf etiquette! He was a perfectionist but really sucked as a teacher and lacked patience. As it turned out, there was a group on the tee waiting for us to clear out. He just wanted me off the fairway to let them play through. My yelling embarrassed him.
So yeah. I've not played since.
