Drive for show, putt for dough. Anyone can whack it out there with the driver but it's the approach to the green that matters most. Short game is the most important. A huge tip is there is no deceleration in golf, you never try and slow your swing to hit shorter, you just shorten your backswing or takeaway. One of my best friends was the chef at a top 50 greatest coarse Bonita Bay club. We played for free multiple times a week for a decade and then 5 star meals afterward. Awesome tracks. 3 courses at the club and then they bought Jack Nicholas private course on the edge of the everglades. I never saw another golfer there through years. It was a great time.
I will still go to the range with my pad and notes in my back pocket and try to focus and learn.
Don't ever get mad playing golf, realize you paid for that frustration and it's just for fun. Look around and realize it's not a perfect game and everyone is bad at it just somedays worse than others.
Golf is a game of compromise or compensating multiple elements, angles and inconsistencies. Today your back is loose and tomorrow it's stiff. Today your hamstrings are loose tomorrow maybe extra tight so always compensating. Add environmental changes and its constantly changing. Find a go to shot that helps when you are having a tough go.
There is always an angle or shot that has the lowest risk and best results for any lie. Focus on the angles of approach that limit hazards. Sometimes I play with beginners that always start in the worst angle off the tee box and double the risk just from the angle. That realization alone will knock strokes off your card. Have fun and don't set high goals just enjoy and hope to have a few good shots and everything else is a bonus. Good times.
i play 5-PW, have 2 wedges, a hybrid, and my driver. on a normal round i'm probably only hitting 5-6 clubs total. it's pretty crazy.
Ohhhh AND you had to carry your 12pk (the dude runnin the place didn't care) of beer while running! The pro move was to chug as much as possible while watching others shoot reducing the weight of said 12pk. 👍😉

I saw a documentary on it recently and that there was no script and chevy and Murray hated each other and the whole scene where Chevy plays thru Bill's living room was just all made up on the spot. There was a mound of coke and everyone was all tweeked out the whole time and no direction but somehow made that masterpiece even though they all thought it was a fail from day 1 of filming. It made me look at in a whole new light.
