I hope you enjoy my golf playing tips. This is my top 10 list of sorts; it contains helpful insights into the game of golf and the psyche it requires. Remember to read this with a grain of salt (around the rim preferably).

1) This is a game, only a game, it is not war and your neighbor
is not the enemy. This should go without saying but feuds have
begun and never ended over the exciting sport of golf. You
should especially keep this in mind when playing your boss,
there is no shame in letting your boss win.

2) The only person you should ever really play against is
yourself. It sounds silly, but keep your old score cards; take
note of improvements and declines (while everyone has a bad day
a consistent decline could indicate a problem with your game).
If you play only against yourself there really can't be any hard
feelings when the game is over.

3) The loser always buys the beer. This works well if you are
playing against yourself as I recommended. That way you are only
buying beer for one. It makes for a much cheaper date.

4) If all seems lost and you have no club that will get the job
done, a good nice kick could be in order (enough said).

5) Save the beer for the clubhouse and not the course. Hot beer
tastes bad and you should never, ever drink and drive. You also
never want to drive backwards on a golf course (see number 7).

6) The ducks on the driving range are not for target practice.
Besides if you start aiming for them, the other birds might
start aiming for you.

7) Let faster players go on ahead of you, especially in the
beginning, besides it's always better to be behind in golf, most
people don't shoot backwards if you know what I mean.

8) If you are having a bad round of golf, start playing silly
shots. You just might find your game improves when you stop
being too serious. Seriously.

9) Be considerate of those around you. Wear a belt and tuck in
your shirt please. No one wants to see a full moon in the middle
of the afternoon, especially one that is reflected by the sun.

10) Unless you want to be the take and bake of the day, be sure
you pack your sunscreen. Lobster is great on the menu, not on
the golf course. Besides we deal with enough pain on the course
without adding to it.

I hope you realize that my top 10 list is somewhat tongue in
cheek. There are however some pearls of wisdom in there,
particularly about the ducks. My overall point is that golf,
while challenging is supposed to be recreational. In other
words, you're supposed to have fun. I hope my little list
reminds you of that very fact and you think of this the next
time you are getting ready for a game of golf (particularly as
you dress, see number 9).
