Question

If you are lousy at driving in golf, can you get someone to take your shot?

Answer 1

If you can't hit your driver, just tee off with a fairway metal. If you can't hit a fairway metal, tee off with a long iron. If you can't hit a long iron, tee off with a 5 iron. If you can't hit a 5 iron, go to the range and practice before wasting money on another 130 shot round.

Answer 2

If you play a "scramble" everyone in the group drives, and the second shots are taken from where the best drive finishes.

Where's the fun in that though?

Answer 3

Practice, and play best ball than you can play someone elses drive.

Answer 4

No, but you can go to the range and practice, practice, practice.  The best thing to do would be to get some lessons so you do not start gathering bad habits in your swing.  Spend and few bucks, get the lessons and in no time you'll be chompin' at the bit to get to the tee.

Answer 5

Sigh... why would you want to? Where's the satisfaction in that? Practice, take lessons and practice some more. Instead of letting someone do the work for you, do the work yourself. You'll find it to be much more rewarding.

Answer 6

The short answer is no.

Answer 7

Lol...  answer is no!

If you can do this, better you bring a pro play with you and give your ball to him.. and let him play with your ball...

Answer 8

definetly not its ur score, also it would be playing someone elses ball which is a penalty

Answer 9

there are best ball tournaments. 4 players hit and then hit from the spot of the best hit ball and so on. each player must usually have to get two drives in however. this means say that your on 16 and you haven't taken one of your drives yet , your going to have to take 2 of the next three holes so you might want to pick one of your earlier better ones.

Answer 10

Why not use a 3 wood or 5 wood instead of driver try and you may start to enjoy teeing it up
