the sport of golf hates me

golfOk...golf really does hate me. I'm just not cut out to play golf, and by golf, I mean miniature golf. You know, one of those places with the fake scenery and bright colored balls. It's not so much that I'm not good at it; it's more that the sport of golf hates me. "They" or "it" just hates me. The fact that I can't putt at all can't be due to my terrible hand-eye-ball coordination. It just can't be. It's so irritating to see 8 or 10 or 12 year olds sink the ball into the hole. It's even more irritating when they're waiting for you to finish or try to finish, and by finish I mean sink the ball into the tiniest hole possible. Plus, they give you a scorecard to keep track of your strokes. Yeah! That's great! What a great way to build self-esteem. Go ahead; keep track of how much you’re over par. I guarantee you'll feel so much better afterwards.

I mean, how can they actually expect people, who are normal, law-abiding citizens, to do the impossible. I just don't understand it. Sure the fountain is nice. The windmill works. But that's not the point. Sure, Tiger Woods can do it, but that doesn't mean everyone else can! I'm not getting the appeal of golf or miniature golf. Go there to be humiliated if you want to. But I don't need another thing to remind me of how much I suck. I don't think I'm going to be visiting another golfing establishment anytime soon. For those of you still on the course, whether on real or fake grass, I hope you're enjoying yourselves.

P.S. I don't think I'll be any better on the real golf course.

ETA: I also hate acronyms. Some are like TVDTYSOE. How in the heck are you suppose to figure that out? But not as much as LOL though.
