I tried golf, but was unable to hit the ball the same way more than once. I had balls flying (or rolling) all over the place.
So I've been reduced to playing solitaire, and feeding the birds.

Working with a swing coach helps. They can build your swing from the ground up. The Fundamentals of Hogan by David Leadbetter is a great resource on the subject.
But repetition is key. Hitting multiple buckets on a weekly basis will fine tune your swing and cultivate good course management. Sometimes it helps to have a partner or join a beginner’s league for the experience.

Why? Is golf the only thing you wanted to learn?

Golf has been described as,
"A game whose purpose is to place a small ball into a distant hole using instruments totally unsuited for the task."
I concur totally.

LOL. It definitely has an effect on your sex. My father took me with him when he played. His frustration was amusing. ;-)
My grandfather taught him the game. I play and my daughter played competitively. My grandfather’s final round walking the course was with her and I want the same.

Although I don't play I love the beauty of golf courses. Great use of land.

Yes, they’re beautiful. I like golf and equestrian sports the most. I’ve loved horses since my childhood and still do.

I used to ride a lot as a young man, great fun. My daughter did as well. I'd love to ride again but if I fell off I probably wouldn't get up.

The carriage is probably a better choice and that’s enjoyable too. Find a comfy spot near the water and enjoy a nice picnic and good company.

I play Masters Field Hockey. Masters Sport is sport for over 35's.
I played when I was young, but lost interest years ago. I only took it up again because I became Diabetic type 2, and needed to do some exercise. Since I already knew the game to some extent, I started again. Ironically I've been playing longer as a "Master" than I did when I was young.
If I couldn't do that, I'd find something else. Sport helps to provide motivation for maintaining a certain level of fitness.
My old pastor once again was correct in his predictions viz. "I think you'll play hockey again... I think you'll get Diabetes..." I wasn't interested in hockey at the time, and had no intention of starting again, but as usual he could see it somehow.
While I was still going to his church I didn't need to play sport as we had a gym under the church. I'd typically go for an 8 km run and then do a gym work out. I was fairly fit then, but that was half a life time ago. I blame my wife - we got married and she took me away from all that!
