Golfer?
At what point do you advance from playing golf regularly to being “a golfer”? I play every other week and whenever else I can but quickly deny being a golfer when someone calls me one.

Sounds like you're a golfer. Why deny it? Acceptance is the first step of a long arduous journey of shooting even par.

Skill level. Golfer (to me) brings the expectation that I’m good at it.

Nah. Plenty of golfers shoot over 100 each week. I did it for years.

This. I’m a golfer who can’t break 100 for the life of me. But it’s not gonna stop me from going out and enjoying the game.

Nope, I’m a shitty golfer, but a golfer none the less. I have no hope of ever shooting par, but I still love going out to suck at it.

Obviously you're not a Golfer....

Best quotable movie of all time.

For me a golfer is someone who enjoys playing golf for golf's sake more than the social aspect of spending a few hours out with your friends. (I am not saying you cant have both)

I’d say that if you play golf regularly you’re a golfer. Once or twice a year? Then no you aren’t a “golfer” you just played golf a few times. Few times a month or more? Congrats you’re a golfer

See, you double down on your golf addiction and fully embrace effing everything that comes with it. Wear a visor all day indoors and out

O………kay?

Having a stroke? Can I call you an ambulance?

Only if you call yourself a golfer

I’m a golfer! (You’re an ambulance 😜)

I’d say if you’re trying to get better and actually putting in work.. be it swing lessons with a pro, trying to apply YouTube swing tips in your living room, trying to learn course management, etc.. you’re a golfer. If you are playing because YOU want to be out there playing golf.. you’re a golfer.
Skill level is irrelevant.

Why? Are you actually a hockey player, trying to make enough money to save your grandmom's house?

This made me LOL 😂
Haha, no, it just seems to bring the expectation that I’m skilled.
"Casual golfer." The majority of us are weekend warriors; embrace it!
