I didn't want to be rushed while trying to make my shot and I'm not one to take practice shots so I think I moved along well. Hubby, on the other hand, felt like he had to rush all of his shots and didnt do so well. frankly, i didnt either but i tried. I don't think golf would be much fun it you had to feel constantly under pressure to get out of the way. Next time we play golf, I think he will slow down a bit and relax. Try to remember that new golfers have a lot on their minds.......we are thinking about our golf swing, our form, which club to use, not to forget the clubs on the ground, are we too slow, how many people are waiting, marking our ball.....the list goes on. So until we get a few games under our belt......please remember.....you were once there.
