I am not a golfer or a fan of the game.

Some of my buddies put together a Ryder Cup weekend for the friend group and associates. I didn’t even know what the Ryder Cup is or what it meant.

I agreed to be a captain. Thought that meant I just l picked a team and otherwise just drink and not have to play. Other captain is in the same boat as me. We’d rather fish the golf course ponds than play golf. But it turns out we both have to play

They made some special rules for the two of us, but the thing is I haven’t swung a golf club at all since I lived at home and just drove golf balls into the woods behind my parents house and have never swung any club other than driver and putter.

I don’t have any golf clubs or anything.

Would going to top golf be worth doing to practice driving the ball straight?

I’m mostly worried about holding up people that aren’t a part of the group. I’ve been told I picked the best team tonight and me and the other captain are both easily gonna be the worst players on our teams, but I think I’d rather wrestle a grizzly bear. Kinda makes me dread a weekend I was really looking forward to

18 holes 3 days straight, but honestly, I’ve been hitting the gym pretty hard the last couple years minus a few months after my daughter was born. I’m in the best shape I’ve been in probably 10 years
 
Great thread, Chewy. Made my day. :laugh:

It is absolutely going to "save you" on EVERY hole.

Fine by me. Other captain is gonna be in the same boat. Might only bring a putter to get the triple bogey quick. My goal is to stay drunk all three days(normal weekend) and have a good time with a bunch of buddies

Got through a few holes when I was in high school before my parents neighbor got us all kicked out. Oddly enough, one of my best friends that is a part of this group was the one that escorted us out. We still laugh about it
 
Golf is by far the most challenging game or sport I have ever tried

@Illustrious Potentate my advice is when you drop off your buddies to tee off ride around the tee box in the cart like its a rodeo

Do they rent out clubs?

There’s a triple bogey per hole limit, and I’m thinking that’s gonna save me on most every hole

Most courses will have clubs you can rent.

My hillbilly course does and it’s $2 for a bucket of balls.

Do any of your friends have a spare set of clubs you can borrow? You can get range balls cheap at wal mart or any sporting goods store. And just hit into a tarp at your house.

Nah, he needs to get him some of those little nerf plastic balls because its challenging enough to hit a real ball those are harder
