Golf
I struggled with it for two years. The coaching consisted of someone telling us how to hold the club correctly and to keep our heads down. After a kind gentleman told me I had trying too hard my game actually improved a little. It went from bloody hopeless to just hopeless.

Then on a par three hole my drive went about three quarters of the distance. I selected one of the irons, probably a five and chipped in. The damn ball rolled across the green and into the hole. A BIRDIE! Huzzah! HUZZAH!

But it meant my handicap was reduced. Oh, the misery next week.

I had a golf lesson once
It set my game back a year. From mediocre back to inept in half an hour.
