Fore!!! Ok, maybe five or six...
Mark Twain once said "Golf is a good walk ruined." Clearly he wasn't drinking...
I have gone golfing a good eight or nine times in my life, and I am terrible at it. Last weekend I went with three friends of mine, shot around a 115, and couldn't have had a better time doing it. There is a certain "back to the roots of manhood" feeling that comes with trekking around a golf course with nothing but a set of clubs and a case of National Bohemian (for those of you on the west coast unfamiliar with this particular beer, think Pabst Blue Ribbon and go down a step in quality). Beyond this, there is a catharsis that occurs when you hit that perfect ball and think 'Tiger Woods couldn't have done it any better.' Though this only usually happens to me once or twice per 18 holes, it makes the whole trip worthwhile.
Who needs therapy? All I need is a driver, a designated driver, a ball, and a round at the local public golf course.

Conrad. You forget. Anything is fun if you are drunk enough.
