Golf Tournament Tomorrow?

Question

I don't know a thing about golf and my coach threw me into a tournament tomorrow. I'm not gonna lie, im kinda freaking out. I really want to call and cancel but part of me says to just stick it out. I don't know what to do.

Can you gimme some advice??

Thanks in advance :D

Answer 1

Just relax and have fun. Imagine your coach's head on the ball, and knock the p**s out of it.

Answer 2

Golf is a near impossible game to play well.  I have been trying for thirty years and am only mediocre.  Almost no one who is not on a college golf team or belonging to the pro tour will not be very good and if you do not slow down their play, they will probably be too wrapped up in their own game to give you much thought.

Just be honest.  Everyone will know you are lying the minute you swing at the first ball.  Ask the best golfer in your group to help you learn how to "punch" the ball down the fairway.  This is a swing where you do not try to kill the ball but hit it straight and low toward the target.  It beats looking in the woods all day for lost balls from errant  hard swings. the other players will appreciate it and will usually be glad to give you some pointers.

Just be sure to tell them, "Just for today, all I want to learn is how to punch the ball so it is closer to the hole after I swing than it was before I swung.

Good luck.
