Why is golf so evil?

Would someone please tell me why golf and bowling are so evil? Both games are things a person can participate in for virtually their whole life, and most of us get better at them as the years go on. For 4 weeks I have fired rounds between 46 and 50. Not stellar , but not to bad for the course Im playing. The "tree" as I like to call it is Par 73 with the longest hole some 530 yards or so. Most of the back nine, you use your driver off the tee 3 times. The rest of the holes play by position rather than distance. Tree limbs hang over almost every fairway and you should NEVER be above the hole when putting. The greens are generally fast and probably the toughest in the county. I hardly ever 3 putt,seriously almost never. Still I manage to shoot high scores. I just dont get it. Its like my bowling game. I hardly ever hit 600 for a series, but I 'll bet 90% or more of my sets are 575 to 595. Golf and bowling give you just enough to keep you coming back, but not enough to feel like your really good at the game. League play this morning started bad with a 6 on a par 3. Then par (5), par (3), double bogey on #1 handicap hole (6),bogey (5). 25 strokes 5 holes in. I shot 53 today. YUCK. Lost my match by 3 lousy strokes. I shot par on # 8 also (easy hole, driver and a 9 iron to green), so you get what happened on the rest of the holes. Just enough to keep me interested. Oh well. Back to the practice tee. At least we got a good golf cart this week. I think the guy running the course thinks its funny to give the two fattest guys on the course the weakest golf cart. We threatened to kidnap his dog if he didnt wise up. Seems it worked .
