I find it's a totally different mindset.īest thing to do it just go out and play! One day I will have more time, but I enjoy every single time I do. There also aren't any hazards to overcome at the range either. Having a precise target is much harder than just pounding balls at a range. Again, as I play more, that stress is going away. I also hate the idea of tearing up a nice course, so that stresses me out a bit too. On the course, I'm still nervous about being the worst guy around although that's getting better the more I play. ![]() I can really relax and focus at the range and get my groove. I hit much better at the range than on the course. If I'm in a time crunch, I just go to the range. I've only done this once as I am in no rush and really like to enjoy the little time I have to enjoy the game. If the group is SUPER slow, I will jump ahead, but only if the course is wide open. If they are chatting about something I'm interested in, I chime in depending on the atmosphere of the group. I always introduce myself at the beginning of the round and keep to myself if it's a close knit group I'm playing with. ![]() I play cheap balls so it doesn't hurt too much. If my ball ends up in the woods, I rarely go looking. I also don't mess around and just pick up if I'm really doing poorly as I don't want to slow the group down and be "that guy". I can tell you that every group I join is courteous and friendly and glad to see a new player interested in the game. I tend to only have time to get 9 holes in and often it's as a single. (4) Do you ever find yourself hitting the balls better at the range than in the actual game? How do you overcome the 'performance jitters'? I don't think that I would try to bounce from one group to another though. If that person says that he has to rush and get home for his kids or something and it's open in front of our group, then go for it. (3) What if one person in the group plays faster than the others, is that person allowed to leave the group and 'leapfrog' to the groups before you? I play as a single pretty often and I can usually connect with at least one of the other players. (2) Do you guys in the group (assuming strangers) usually chit-chat throughout the round or mostly keep quiet focusing on your own game? I try not to give unsolicited advice, but I might give a pointer or two if it's something blatantly obvious that a beginner might not realize. I'm happy to answer any questions if he/she asks. We've all played our first round at some point so I don't mind playing with a beginner. ![]() (1) Those of you experienced golfers, how do you feel to be joined by a rank amateur (say, this is his first-ever round of golf)? What should the newbie say or do to try to 'blend in'?
