I want to like this sport. I really do, but I am tired of coming home after a round completely pissed off. The main reason I even play is just to spend time with my father but the sport keeps getting in the way because once I get frustrated its all downhill from there. I only have the time to play one round a week and sometimes not even that because things happen with my job. I refuse to play on Sundays because it is just too crowded and I don't like getting paired up with strangers. This leaves me Monday mornings and the rare evening outing when kids activities aren't keeping me from doing anything.
Basically, I have no idea how to improve because when I actually do hit a ball right, I can't figure out what I did right. Generally, when I hit a ball well, it also feels like the most uncomfortable swing of the day.
Oh, and my best round of the year is always the first round. It's crap after that.
Stopping short here because I don't know what to add right now.

It's not like your working your butt off to have it go to pieces on you. Unless you have a chance to play more you should probably keep your expectations low and just try and have fun. If you do that you'll probably play better and have more fun.

I would like to second this ...... Enjoy the time with your father on the course. If your not playing for big money that you can't afford (old Travino joke) and not trying to qualify for an event why stress. Enjoy the good company with your father, friends, or who ever you are paired with. Enjoy the good shots and laugh at the bad shots. Just a suggestion ... the better the attitude the better the game you play, in most cases. The more stressed you get the tighter muscles get, which makes for bad swings.
