It's hard to balance that early, fairly naive expectation of just 'having a laugh' with what will later turn out to be a frustrating addiction if you engage often enough. It's a strange sport as even a casual player will hit a world-class short once in a while, even if it's every 100-200 strokes (i.e., draining a 20-foot putt or lofting a beautiful 100-yard pitching wedge to within a couple of yards of the pin). It's those shots that keep weekend warriors coming back for more - they're like crack cocaine, and you conveniently forget about the other 99-199 duffers you hit along the way. And why not? :) My tip: if you're going to play even semi-regularly, get a set of cheap clubs that are more suitable to your height and frame. Playing with someone else clubs is fine for a trial but you won't be doing yourself any favours in the long run. Golf’s a lot of fun once you get into it.
