The problem I am reading in this thread is that nobody who is quitting, feels like quitting, has quit, or might quit has mentioned their involvement in their course's men's club.
Join the men's club at your local club and start playing the game the way it was meant to be played. To compete.
Moreso, the social aspect in unrivaled in a men's club. Everyone there is there because they like to compete at golf.
"But I have this group of four of us that play once in a while." Bleh. The same guys all the time? Ish. Who is the club champion? First flight winner?
In a club, you are flighted by your performance. So you get to duel with others who are similar to you in handicap. In mixed events, you get to play with better players, and worse players. You get to know the guys very quickly. It's golf afterall. Spend 5 hours with a teammate that the computer throws you with and the next time you see them at the club, it is VERY easy to say hi.
In a club there are smaller groups of guys that go out and play EVERY DAY. At my club there are two or three skins games I could get into every day. Big skins games on the weekends and this doesn't include the club events. The bigger games end up so lucrative, that you want to practice to play well to make some money once in a while.
Not to mention the club championship. It is the highlight of the year. One tourney to get your name on the plaque. And not just for champ flighters. There are plaques for every flight. Winning gets you respect at every level.
Once you feel your interest wane, think about joining your local club. It really is never too late. "But I don't know anyone". You will. Guess what? It is all golfers in the men's club. And a guy that plays golf, even semi-seriously, can't be all bad.
