Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:15 PM Author: Ivory Den because you suck at it and can only ever be good for a very short burst, it gives you one or two dopamine hits per round then fucks you so you come back to get more (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5733059&forum_id=2#48984538) |
 |
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:17 PM Author: Adventurous Patrolman Hospital but good players are also addicted to it
and i don't feel this addicted to other sports and their dopamine hits |
|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:19 PM Author: Ivory Den good players also suck at golf, you can never win the game, and at other sports you never, ever acheive a perfect shot, in golf even you can do that once or twice a round (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5733059&forum_id=2#48984546) |

|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:22 PM Author: Ivory Den if you asked him he would almost certainly say he thinks he sucks a lot of days and okay we can except Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Scottie from this analysis (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5733059&forum_id=2#48984552) |

Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:30 PM Author: Ivory Den do you have another theory of why golf is addicting besides the one shared by pretty much everyone? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5733059&forum_id=2#48984567) |
|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:39 PM Author: Adventurous Patrolman Hospital - 4 hours away from life's distractions at peace in nature
- i can't dunk over lebron or hit a home run at fenway but at least once during a round i can hit a shot where even tiger would say "nice shot, you got closer than me." this is more than just a dopamine hit
- infinite possibilities to finetune inputs, working on your swing and your mechanics and evaluating your tools is an obsession in and of itself

|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:40 PM Author: Ivory Den your last two points are exactly what I said retard, can you read? and ljl at most duff golfers having a peaceful round, it is mostly swearing and stressing |
|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:42 PM Author: Adventurous Patrolman Hospital you said something about working on your swing? lol you're such a hardheaded retard who always thinks he's right about everything and starts personal attacks whenever someone calls you out
a dopamine hit is making a three at la fitness not hitting a shot better than top professionals would in the same situation |
|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:44 PM Author: Ivory Den I said you can pure a few shots a round and hit one as good as anyone, and I said you can never win the game, you can always keep getting better again, is reading comp not a strong suit for you? |
|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:45 PM Author: Adventurous Patrolman Hospital you can win at golf though, there are these things called tournaments and they have winners (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5733059&forum_id=2#48984631) |
|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:47 PM Author: Ivory Den you really are just being obtuse, you can be better than your opponent but you never beat the course, golf has a standard that exists beyond the single competition you are in, football doesn't, you either win or lose and that is it (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5733059&forum_id=2#48984635) |
|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:49 PM Author: Adventurous Patrolman Hospital the course standard is the par for that course, you certainly can beat it and amateurs do it all the time (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5733059&forum_id=2#48984643) |
|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:50 PM Author: Ivory Den ok, scratch golfers stop once they hit par because you can't ever do any better than that, golf is addicting because of magic not the reality everyone experiences, good point (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5733059&forum_id=2#48984649) |
|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:53 PM Author: Adventurous Patrolman Hospital the question is why they don't stop and the answer is not "because there are no standards" there are a ton of standards actually, the reason golf is addicting is because of ephemeral reasons and feelings not "because athletes like to improve at sports," that applies to all sports dummy (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5733059&forum_id=2#48984659) |
|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:55 PM Author: Ivory Den those feelings are based on chasing a high that you never get to retard, because you never acheive an ultimate goal you come back, you can always shoot one shot better, always (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5733059&forum_id=2#48984662) |

|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 7:03 PM Author: Ivory Den yes actually because regardless of his win his total score can always, always be better functionally in basketball you run out of time and can only ever beat down your opponent so badly, you can score as many points as it is possible to get with the possessions you have and go undefeated potentially, you can't do that in golf, nobody has ever had a perfect season, they have in football |

|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:42 PM Author: Ivory Den sigh, I didn't say they aren't good I said by their standards they still suck, because they have much higher standards, watch Bryson play a round of golf and get back to me, he spends the entire time bitching about how he sucks (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5733059&forum_id=2#48984618) |

|
Date: June 3rd, 2025 6:46 PM Author: Ivory Den yes, that is their subjective experience of the game as well, which is relevant to why it is addicting and a guy who could shoot 5 under every day will still spend hours on the range for decades, jfc man (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5733059&forum_id=2#48984633) |
