Also, hitting from forward tes will make your game much more enjoyable, whether you are playing by yourself or with a group.

Have fun!
Old thread but good advice.

When I was really, really bad as opposed to just being pretty poor like I am now thats what I used to. Over the years I found that if you demonstrate a little manners and didn't hold everyone up then most people accept that you are just starting out.

Strangely its often the single figure players who are most patient with the newbies whereas the teenagers (handicap not age ) get more snitty - any other observers of human nature seen this or like to expain it?

Re: Playing by yourself

good advice, thanks. that's what I'm most afraid of... being too slow for everybody else. will be playing on one of the californian golf courses soon when I'm on holiday, so I thought about playing by myself. don't particularly like it when people watch me play, that sets my teeth on edge... but anyway, there is a better chance to improve when people watch you play and can give advice on how to do things better!
