Any tips?

Only ever been to a driving range and found out there that I can smash the hell out of the ball but I have a wicked slice.

As far as your swing:

Swing within yourself (you don't have to swing hard to hit it far & str8).

If you're constantly slicing then aim left & position yourself on the left side of the tee box.

Cut down on your practice swings(you'll probably shoot around a 100 & there's no reason to add another 200-300 swings to your back).

As for the course:

Replace your divots & fix your ball marks.

Play "ready golf" & be ready to swing right after your partner goes.

Always tip the beer girl good.

Voile-la, there's my ball.

Someone did that @ a course that I worked @ back in '97.

-Take at least an 18 pack with you. Drink one beer per hole.

-Take a bottle of tequila/bourbon/rum and a shot glass with you. Whomever gets the best score on a hole has to do a shot before they tee off for the next hole. If only playing 9 holes, use a bottle of Wild Turkey 101 or Bacardi 151.

-If you have to swing at it more than three times, pick it up and throw it. This becomes very important the longer the game goes on for. An old racquetball racquet will work wonders here for distance. A potato cannon also works well.

-Bring a swiss army knife. Not just to open the beers and slice limes for the tequila shots, but to remodel the course and move the holes if necessary.

-Keep the number for Dominoes pizza handy. About the 8th hole, you'll be needing it. Ask them to deliver to the 12th hole, tell them you'll meet them there.

-turn the key to off

-lift the seat & step on the gas pedal

-try to wedge a couple tees in where the throttle rod moves

That will open up the governor & your cart will fly but it will also backfire.

Swing easily as the ball is already dead. Trying to kill it will not better your distance or accuracy and the ball is already dead anyway.

Have fun and enjoy the scenery.
