True. The approach one takes, I believe, depends primarily on one's personality. Secondarily, it depends on what YOU want to get out of it or NEED to get out of it.
As a general rule though, I think that (assuming you have the requisite skills) if you have fun and enjoy the process, you will be motivated to play and learn and grow. The guitar is an exceptionally complex instrument - if you want it to be. It can also be very simple and almost crude. It all depends on you and the goals you have...
The bottom line I think is, if it aint fun to you, you probably will never progress because you will stop picking it up and another 25 years will go by.
Its probably not accurate to compare golf and guitar though. playing an instrument is about pure expression of one's feelings. Golf is a game and doesnt require an aesthetic or artistic expression. I do not think one can be a very good guitar player or even enjoy trying to play guitar, without that artistic drive to express one's self via music
