I used to golf with my mom at a 9-hole par 3 course. I did "okay" I suppose, but most times when I'd play a "real" course, I might get the odd par or bogey, but... also (more often) I'd double, triple,... octuple (eight), nonuple (nine) and decuple (ten) (or more) several holes. I didn't want to subject my playing partners to my ineptitude. How boring is it to hit off the tee... and then not have another stroke until your playing partner has whiffed at his ball half a dozen times? I'm holding up my playing partner(s) and anyone playing behind us. Not fair to anyone. Mom's too old to golf anymore. I sold my clubs.

I get that. For me, there's usually one shot during a round that I hit the right way, and goes where I want it to. And then I think, "Hey, I've figured it out!" and I get suckered into playing again, chasing that high through all the whiffs.

I get that. I played an 18 hole course with some friends. I'd been gifted a new driver and... dang if that didn't get me one beautiful drive on one hole. The rest... well...

I actually wish I was working today (or at least my wallet does).
Several hundred jobs applied for; less then 20 even bothered to acknowledge the application; only one initial phone interview with no follow up; state unemployment officially ended...
Really enjoying the holiday

Prayers for a resolution to your issues. It is hard out there. My son went through 2 months of unpaid training with Teach for America and relocated to Jacksonville, Florida. After 1 month teaching he will be out of work tomorrow because the school hired 7 too many teachers based on their enrollment projections. Last in first out. Now he has a year lease and no job. He does like Florida though so if he can find something he will be content. No jobs in Appalachian KY that would cover his student loan payments. I just keep telling him God has a plan for him. Been in his situation more than once and it is uncomfortable to say the least.

Oh man, that's brutal. Sorry to hear this news. Hoping and praying he can find something quickly.
