I’d love to hear you have done to help put this great game into a proper perspective.

Not to be mean, but IMO the problem lies in your perception and attitude towards things. Why keep playing a sport you don't enjoy? If your true enjoyment only comes from "being good" at golf then stop worrying about your score and "being good". Put your playing on hold for awhile and start practicing more, taking lessons etc. Playing golf on the course should only be about playing. If you want to get better, practicing is done on the range/practise facilities. Not the other around. Seems to me you are getting in your own way.

It’s got the point where I’m having a hard time enjoying the game at any level. The fact is that I don’t really like golf for the sake of playing golf. I play with a good group of guys, but I’m not one of those who play for the camaraderie. I don’t enjoy playing golf; I enjoy playing golf well. For me there’s a huge difference between the two.

Sidenote: Have your ever thought about how your attitude might affect the enjoyment of your group? Might be something to consider for the sake of your friends. Personally I would hate having to play along someone that keeps getting mad all the time and/or does not enjoy himself on the course.
