Only ever played once on a proper golf course. Had a shocker and my teeshot off the first or second tee went in the carpark. I was decent at putting and using irons, but could never use a driver without it slicing wildly.

Only ever really played at the local pitch and putt/par 3, and really it was an excuse to go to the pub after (or occasionally play the round carrying a bagful of cans.

Came to an inglorious end one sunny afternoon. After wafting yet another easy shot into the bushes, i lost it completely and threw my 7-iron, which landed high up in a tree and couldn't be retrieved. I've never played since.
