I have been golfing on and off for 5 years. I went out and bought $300 worth of new clubs last year. I am terrible, but I still enjoy it. What have you guys failed at?

Fly fishing! I can spin fish all day, but those fly rods are a whole different world!

I fail at sucking at things. No matter how hard I try to just do the bare minimum, I somehow find that I excel at damn near everything. It's a problem for me, really, because people develop a hate for someone who beats them at everything.

I've been failing so hard on this level of COD Black Ops for like the last week. It's driving me f*cking insane



And mental math has NEVER been a strong point of mine, besides basic addition etc.. Gimme a piece of paper and a pen and no problem. But if I'm on the spot and someone mentions percentages... my eyes go blurry and i pass out I know the math and how to do it but my brain doesn't compute the numbers verbally, has to be written down.

growing plants indoors. They just die. I may keep 'em alive for 4-6 months, but then they're gone.

^You need to have a cactus, or some sort of ivy type vine. Requires little water and little light to grow successfully.

Same here!!!! It has to be on paper. I suck at math. That's why I am an Art major with a lot of talent but my department sucks cat waste.

GOLF. Dear god. A group of us went before my friend left for basic, and I spliced the ball so far to the right at a driving range it hit the other guy's bucket, who in turn threw his club at me. Any other sport I can do fine, golf is just too foreign to me.
