Anyone play golf

When I play, I imitate a spinkler system just spraying balls all over the course.

I played for a little bit when I first moved to Florida but haven't gone out in a long time. 

The best thing you can do for your game is take lessons. 

And enjoy yourself.

That's a nice gift and most appropriate for someone new to the game. I'd recommend regular lessons for this first season - IMO, they will go a long way to quell the inevitable frustration everyone develops with this game - it's maddening at times.

I picked up the game as a youngster, was mostly "off" during adolescence (when mi padre would have bought me all the equipment I wanted), and picked it up again after college (when I had to foot the bill for the equipment).  I'll admit I've spent a fair amount of money on equipment over the years, but you surely don't have to...I will say that a well-fitted set of clubs is a must (sound familiar???).

Now I play occasionally, mostly "corporate" golf. The scorces don't seem to change much, either up or down, but I think it's because I don't seem to care much about the outcome anymore. This "whatever" attitude has made the game more enjoyable, at least for me, and the scores are still pretty good.

I think you'll find there are alot of similarities between golf and tris, especially the "man against course" aspect. Enjoy.

I have golf clubs and swing them on a golf course maybe once a year.  It sometimes resembles golf.

Here's tip (think I read it on here) about controlling the slice off the driver.  Put some chapstick on the face of the club so the doesn't get a chance to spin as much when you mis-hit it.  It may be against the rules, yet I doubt you'll be playing for money or on the tour anytime soon.       note:  I haven't had a chance to try that yet.

 Vaseline works also......or so I've heard.

I am not big on golf training gadgets at all, but I think this grip, Golf Pride David Leadbetter Training Grip, is actually a very useful training tool. By learning the proper grip, you can quickly learn and acquire proper muscle memory/club handling/swing.

My BIL assisted in designing the grip; was pretty cool to see the product come together.

To quote Rodney Dangerfield..."Golf courses and cemetaries are the biggest wasters of prime real estate..."

I used to play a lot, Country Club, Tournaments and such.  2 MUST FOLLOW RULES:

IT IS A GAME...Have fun no matter what or go home.

What ever the course handicap is add 18 or 36 and make that your PAR for the course ie.

A par 4 is now a par 5 or 6,  a par 3 is now 4 or 5.

Following these two rules will guarantee a good time and I still play with clubs I got from Joey Bishop when I won a tourny in So. Cal. in 1978.
