Who says golf is easy as hitting a golf ball? In fact, it's not. And that's my worry right now. You see, I've never played golf all my life. It may sound weird or unusual, knowing that golf should have been like a man's sport. But I don't play the game, and now my boss is asking me to go with him for some leisurely play over the weekend. I don't want to look like a jerk by then.
Well, I scavenged for some basic golf tips over the Net, but I'm not sure if this is all.
"Thanks for the invite, but I don't play golf" The embarrassment of stinking it up on the golf course may be worse than just declining the invitation. There's alot of bosses that read a lot into what you do out of the office (especially if you do it with them).
You mean this weekend? Have you actually tried to hit a ball yet? If so, what were the results? Have you explained to the chief that your a novice at best? We kinda have to know more before we can help you. I know it's important to humor the boss and hopefully impress him, if not with the golf then with your charisma/sense of humor/knowledge of the business (what business is it, btw?). But don't try to be something you're not...tell us more.
Some fast lessons by a pro might help,but a broken hand would be easier.How about the flu,its that season.Of coase you could tell him the truth and see if he would help you learn the game because you think it would be fun to play.
Why do I get the feeling that this post was just an attempt to put a link to a golf tip website in a post, without making it look like an obvious spam? Hopefully I'm wrong, and maybe hit-it will post again to the site, but I'll be surprised if he does.
Maybe I'm just jaded because I'm a web developer and know the extent people will go to when trying to get links to their site!

You're not alone. I had the same initial feeling. Guess we'll see if he comes back
tell him you've never hit a ball before. that you'd love too but you don't want to embarass yourself or him. go along and just ride or walk along. get some lessons over the winter and tell him to wait til spring.

Good call...I didn't even notice while surfing right along
