I think it depends a lot on how much natural ability for the game you have. I've been playing 1-2 times a week and getting to the driving range 2-3 times a week for about 8 months now (going back to last June minus 6 months for winter), plus two rounds of lessons and I still cannot shoot better than 120. But I would say I have no real natural ability to play golf at all, and have never thought otherwise. I'm just hooked on the game anyway for some strange reason.

On the other hand, there are plenty of golfers who can shoot better than 100 from day one without any lessons at all. I know guys who can routinely shoot better than 90, but only play 3 or 4 times a year with beat-up 30 year old equipment. I think it just boils down to natural talent.
