Default Any golf experts?

I am going to the company golf day on Sunday. Now I have hit a golf ball but not for a game.

Any advice? I hope to at least get off the tee in reasonable shape.

Good luck!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

So you have gone to a driving range, but not played on a course?

The best advice I can give is just stay very relaxed, retain a positive attitude, and have as much fun as possible with the folks you are playing with. Tell jokes to yourself if you have to.

And don't try to swing too hard. Just concentrate on a nice slow smooth swing. Momentum will do all the work.

Try to stay in the fairway. It is much harder to hit the ball out of "the rough" ( the longer grass that may or may not even be mowed)

Take your time putting. As the saying goes, "you drive for the show, but putt for the dough".

Keep your head down ... is my best advice.

Laugh at your mistakes, but don't waste time.

Remember there is a group of golfers behind you on a busy day.

Leave the turf the same way you found it.

Drink plenty of liquids, but remember those woods are for lost balls, not going to the restroom.

Don't talk about the boss behind his back.

Use your irons off the tees, yeah you will get made fun off, but will probably stay on the fairway and out of trouble.

Great idea!

You could probably play the whole course with a 5 Iron and a Putter.
