"To test a man's true character, play golf with him". This is a fitting quote from P.G. Wodehouse for the game (sport) of golf. Golf can be a frustrating sport at the start, but it can also be a sport of luxury and even a stress reliever. One must put in time, money and effort; money for equipment, time to learn the basics of the game and a conscious effort to maintain your level of play.

Finally, golf is a game of consistency. To have the satisfying round you're looking for, your swing will need to be as consistent as possible. To obtain consistency in your golf swing, you must first learn the basic and then put in the effort to maintain it. In my experiences with golf I have found that spending long periods of time away from the course tends to lead to a deteriorated swing. Which in turn, usually generated from a lack of effort.
