There are MANY experienced golfers here, notice I didn't mention GOOD, that have walked with beginners many times in their lives to get them started and keep them going. One of the main things that happens when four beginners golf together is that they fall behind and slow down play looking for lost balls and just simply hitting more shots usually. An experienced golfer who is a friend can just ride along and tell you to pick up and start the next hole when you have hit six shots on a par three or eight shots on a par four. They will tell you to tell and write your score at the next tee, if you are keeping score and to walk quickly off the green and enter your carts and move on. Just a lot of little, and maybe annoying advice that will make you accepted and enjoyed by any golfer on the course to play with. You don't have to be good to be a golfer that can play with anyone, no matter their skill level, you just need to know the ropes.
