I'm embarrassed, but I'm just going to come out and say it. I just started playing golf, and I am in love! It's partly because I haven't had a truly new activity since starting to climb 15 years ago, but also the sensation of hitting the ball flush is wildly addicting... |

This is a great post, Devin. I don't golf, or have any desire to, but what a thoughtful offer for barter. |

I am not good at golf or climbing but I do both. If you ever want to a golf partner or a belay, I could be down. |

I have golfed for years now. The sport has now taken a backseat to me learning to climb. We would match well if we were closer. About lessons, don't do it! It's a rip off. Those guys will only teach you just enough to get you to come back and pay more. Best advice is to buy Ben Hogans 5 easy lessons. It's a small book with all the info you'll ever need. You can read it in two hours but you can read it 50 times and still learn from it. So much info packed in so few words. It's the bible of golf. Also download a swing app. You can have some one film your swing and the app will show your swing plane and get you on track. Good luck! Much more expensive than climbing. |

Thanks guys! |

Remember this, if you hit a bad shot and get frustrated, your next shot will also be bad. If you hit a great shot and get excited, your next shot will be bad. |

I have been playing golf for 19 years and i have been climbing for 10. Pretty good at both and would be happy to meet and play a round or just hit a bucket at the range. Can't get very good at golf in a book or watching a video or over the phone I have found, but that stuff does get you in the mindset of the game for sure. It is a life style like climbing where you have to understand the game and then practice...relentlessly. Case in point is to watch Rory or Tiger's swing and then watch Jim Furyk or Bubba Watson...different strokes for different folks, right?! |

Thanks guys! |

I guess this means I'm gonna need a new ice partner this winter.... |
