You use the word “artifice”. There is no guile or strategy.
Golf is about the quest to eliminate mistakes. The perfect swing. Becoming repeatable and robotic. Why is that anything but frustrating?
Toyota has a robot that can shoot 3’s pretty accurately but I’ll put a man in front of it and it’s over. Golf, not so much
No artifice.
