			Well, today (this afternoon more precisely) for the first time ever I am going to play GOLF!
No idea why because I have never ever played before and don't really care to but my mates talked me into it and I thought why not.
So who has swung a big club to hit a puny little ball a long way down some grass?
Any tips?
And "don't go" or "don't bother" do not count as a tip

			Funny you should mention this.  One of my mates mentioned going down a driving range at some point for a bit of fun, but has yet to be arranged.   
 
I did a 9-hole course in the Isle of Wight when I was 10-11, but it was a proper course so we were pretty much something like 15-20+ every hole. 
 
Before you go, make sure you watch Happy Gilmour.  I am pretty sure it is as realistic as it gets.

			I went down the range with one of the lads from work a few weeks ago and was hitting 220yds with a 3 wood, which apparently isnt bad for a 1st attempt 
  my biggest recommendation would be to wear a glove - fuck me I had some big skin flappers on my thumb after hitting 150 balls down range
