Change the definition of "good".
I play three or four times a year, and have never broken 50 over 9 holes. Didn't want to invest the time and money to play more, but wanted to get better.
Then I went golfing with a relative who played golf about as well and as often as I did. Never had more fun golfing in my life. He kept score of three things - his golf score, how many tees he broke, and his net gain/loss of balls. He'd hit off the tees and immediately would be looking for his tee. If he found it unbroken (or another unbroken tee left behind by someone else), he'd often do a little celebration dance right then and there. Played it all up and was very entertaining to be with.
He shot worse than me, but all he could talk about was how he came out ahead two balls.
