I know Yoda quit once. I've paid my dues for the year so I'm going to stick it out for the rest of the year.
I was a good athlete in my younger days, and also a better golfer. Picked up the game again about 12 years ago, but I'm only traveling the frustration highway, and its time to get off.
My wife doesn't think I can quit, so I need some suggestions on how to leave it behind.

Anyways, quitting this game is hard to do. You always reach a stage where you want to quit but there is always something that is at the back of your mind that makes you come back.
The best thing to do is to take a break. Don't touch a club or play golf for a few days/weeks and only take it up again when the enthusiasm returns.

That one threw me mb. But then Trig reminded me of the movie.
Come'on...it was the Japanese.
Anyway, enjoy Golf for what it is; A sport that can never be mastered. The game of all games!
Maybe we should start a thread on "What you love about Golf".
When something isn't fun and you don't enjoy it, it is time for change.
Quitting is rather a drastic step.
You could consider
a. Not keeping score, enjoy the walk, enjoy it when you hit that shot, enjoy the company
b. Change the game, it is your game to play. Play a round with only odd number clubs or only 5 clubs.
I am sure there are other ideas.
Once it becomes fun and enjoyable, once it is golf again, then start back into a process to improve the game.
