Is golf a difficult game?

So, as you may have read the title, Is golf a difficult game? Most of you would probably say..well yes (Duh!)..Same here man! I remember when my dad started golf as his hobby, I wondered how my dad actually managed to practice golf so much and so well. He then taught my younger brother, who then challenged me to beat him in a simple golf game. Underestimating him, I accepted, unfortunately, try as I may, I couldn't hit the ball that was right in front of me. After several attempts, I decided to give up and just give my brother the turn, with the hope that he won't succeed, which if he did, I'd be ever so embarrassed. With a grin on his face, dup, hitted the ball and just watched me with my humiliated face dropping on the ground, letting my cries linger in his ears. He laughed and laughed, like an evil devil laughing of victory..hehe..I might be exaggerating a bit there. LOL

Anyways, back to our topic, some people say you've got to have the right skills, holding the club (club as in the stick used to hit the ball not club as in a club), and the perfect hitting point. Me? Play as much and as hard as you want, as long as you enjoy it =D. But hey, if you want to compete with people, you can't just hit the air and not get a point, might as well play with yourself. You need to have patience and practice as much as you could, play with a friend and when you think you're ready and have confidence in yourself, sign yourself up and make sure you do your best and enjoy your time. However, there is a case where first timers does a perfect hit on their first try. The man below, my dad's mate is one of them, so hey, what's so hard about golf eyh?? So I say..(LOL)

This was proved when my dad and several of his colleagues were having a golf training sesion, about 10 or 12 of them in total, led and taught by Uncle Shairan and Uncle Md Syah. Most of them were doing it just for fun and to enjoy themselves, but hey, looks like that one day has changed golf from a "just-for-fun" thing to a hobby (I think?), most of them has already bought a golf set to play with. Looks like golf is something eh? LOL

Anyways, here's some sneak peak of the training sessions =D
