What is it?

What is it about golf? Now that I have decided to get into it, I am finding
lots of people I know who play, and when I meet new people, golf usually
comes up soon after introductions.

Golf IMHO, is a game against self, sort of like pool. (I play pool and have
a table at home.) Been playing for 50 years now, am decent, but still like
to just play alone to keep honing and practicing. I now find that I'm going
out into the yard and practicing swinging without a ball, attempting to
achieve a little consistency in my swing. Will be going to the driving
range within the week, schedule permitting.

What is it that attracts/attracted you to golf? Give me some insight on
your ideas of what golf does for people.
