If you're playing for money you should try to hit the green instead of the sand with your approach shot, you'll probably have a better chance to win more money.

First, I have not read this entire thread because I find it insulting. We have not played a round of golf yet, but would like to. We went to golf school @ Palmer and know just the basics. We will not be very good at it and now worry that others will redicule us because of it. Golf is new to us and we want to enjoy it, but I don't want to slow other players down by our lack of experience. So I'm sorry if I look foolish playing in front of you, I'd just like to enjoy it like everyone else.

Anytime you want to play, I'm your woman. As Bonny says, I never know who will show up, the halfway decent golfer or the duffer, but I always enjoy it and I am a patient soul with beginners. I taught kindergarten for decades.

They insist on tapping in the "gimmes" (and then scream obscenities when they miss them).

I was on Turtle mound back in February, I was joined up with a guy who seemed to be very intolerant, right off the bat he was complaininng that the group ahead were slow. On the first hole, I duffed my drive and ended up with a 6. He teed off with a hybrid and made it to the edge of the green and made a 4. On the next hole, I duffed again and after he hit his hybrid to just short of the green he said "perhaps I will just go on ahead", obviously thinking this was my every day game. But, there was a foursome ahead of us and we had to finish the hole anyhow.I stuck my second shot 2 ft from the pin and parred, he got a 5. We both teed off on the next hole and I made the green and birdied, he made a 5 again. So, for the next 6 holes I won 5 and tied one. He kept his mouth shut afer # 3, and on # 9, shook hands and beat a hasty retreat. How quick he was to surmise that I was not of his caliber. I was having a lousy start, not unusual for many people. How quick are people to jump on other people as not being up to their level to the point of intolerance. But we enjoy playing with beginners, no matter their abilities

This thread did seem to be taking on a 'snarky attitude' with some more experienced golfers making fun of the 'brand new' golfers. Please...re-read your "cute/funny little posts and then decide if you were demeaning & discouraging new golfers or not. As I stated several days ago....rephrasing here: strikes me as bullying. They may like to say: "I was just playing or funning." But it is NOT funny when you are discouraging the new golfers. Even though you are liking to say you were not meaning to discourage the newbies. You can state that ....but it doesn't make it true. You were bullying & putting down others.
