Is George Clooney good at golf?

On being asked about his golf exploits, Clooney had an honest response. “Well, no one else I know would describe me as a golfer, unfortunately,” he said. But he revealed this opinion was because of his inconsistency to hit the golf course, which he admitted to having visited just twice in the past year.
