2010 taught me I need to quit trying so hard and just enjoy playing more, this is something I learned twenty years ago but clearly forgot.

I already knew it was that pudding with lumps in it.

I learned how to not get too frustrated on the course

1. You should really evaluate equipment purchases and make sure you are 100% sure you need something before buying it.
2. Number 1 is almost physically impossible.
3. I talk to my THP friends far more than my real life friends.
4. Being a dad is hard on your golf game, but I don't care.
5. Short game will save a crappy score due to a struggling long game and vice versa.
6. Hitting the ball forward is the key to lower scores (for me).
7. I will probably never hit the ball 275 yards unless I playing down a mountain.
8. Golf is hard and it takes a ton of time to get better. When you finally do get better, you can't stop thinking about how much better you need to get.
9. My second job (THP) is the only one I've ever had that I enjoyed.

I agree with you on ALL of those 3 things. I'd like to add 1a to your list.

1a. When talking about equipment purchasing, do no incorporate OEM because you will end up buying more that one thing and/or spending more money that you planned

1. A huge slice isn't only found amoung pizza.
2. Beer after golf is better than in front of the TV watching football with beer.
3. Putting is soooo underrated
4. Not only fish live in the water, balls seem to like it there too
5. Listen to older golfers, especcially if they are calm

[HartOvara]

I learned

1. I don't make enough money to read the equipment forum
2. A bank job isn't as straightforward as the movies make it look
3. Neither is hitting my driver or putting past the hole.

[BoboStin]

1. I love living 2 blocks from 2 great golf courses.
2. I love working 4 - 10 hr days with every Friday off to play more golf.
3. The more Fridays I play golf, the lower my handicap goes.
4. THP is the best golf site on the internet !!

1. You should really evaluate equipment purchases and make sure you are 100% sure you need something before buying it.

That's one way to try and stem the tide of golf equipment purchasing (GEP for short... it should be an advertised condition)... I suffer from it terribly.

For me...
1. The hole is not called the "target"
2. Failing at golf is too easy for a beginner - it's how you assess the good things from your 'failure' and move forward.
3. Forest fires can shroud entire fairways and make finding balls impossible.
4. You can never wear enough mosquito repellant
5. When leaves hit the ground, bring a bucket of balls with you.
... more later.

1: Proper fit equipment makes a HUGE difference. Get it done, no exceptions
2: Walking the course is more enjoyable then riding. It also helps after hitting a bad shot to calm down
3: This is a game of constant learning. Enjoy it and have fun. Bad shots are going to happen. If you think they won't, please show me the millions you've made from the game
3b: f nothing else teachs your patience in your life, this will
