Wow, you are such a great golfer! How long have you been playing?
#miss

Oh, thank you very much! I'm so flattered. I have been playing golf for 15 years. Especially the recent 3 years, I'm really into golf. I'm crazy. But I realized that it is long way for me to master playing golf. Then, you are an even great golfer rather than me. How about you? How long have you been playing ?

#correct

Oh, thanks a lot. I'm flattered. I have been playing golf for 15 years now but I have developed a keen interest in it the last 3 years. I realized however, that it is not easy for me to master this game. You seem really good at golf too. How long have you been playing?

No wonder you are so good. Your swings and drive is so consistent. Unlike me, I just got lucky. I've been playing golf for almost 5 years now. Most of the time though I only practice in driving range because I can't afford to always play in a golf course.

Only 5 years? You have a great ability for golf. Why can you drive a ball straight consistently? It's envious. Maybe, it's the result that you've been practicing well. I know practicing is very effective to improve my golf skill. But, I sometimes feel bored to only hit the balls there. Don't you feel so? How often do you practice?

#correct

Only 5 years? Then you can be able to play really well if you continue to practice especially because you are able to drive the ball straight consistently. I think it is because you have been practicing well. I know it is necessary to practice in order to improve one's golfing skills but I sometimes find it boring to go for the practice sessions. By the way, how often do you practice?

Thank you so much. I practice at the driving range once a week and I receive some good tips from some golfers there. My weakness though is if the ball lands on the sand and putting.

That's great! It's highly helpful to get the advice from the other players. Ah, yes, playing on the sand and putting are also my weaknesses. Although I tried to buy the newest model club, I finally realized that's the wrong idea. Eventually, the best thing to improve every skill is to practice.

That's great! It is helpful to get advice from other players. I'm also not good at playing on the sand and putting although I tried to buy a club that was the latest model!. Eventually, I realized that this was the wrong approach and that the best way to improve every skill is practice.
