I can't play golf to save my life.

You don't know what you are missing. It is one of the few sports that you can play for the rest of your life (barring anything unforeseen like becoming a paraplegic). Even though I am scheduled for hip replacement surgery next month, I can still play golf. I ride a cart and hobble out when it is time to hit my ball.

It is a nice social game, you are outdoors in beautiful surroundings and you get about as much aerobic exercise as playing canasta :)

Take a couple of lessons. You would be amazed at how much better you can get.
