      Seriously, get a used set of clubs from a yard sale. Practice short game for like a month intensively and then just hang around a cheap golf course looking for 3s needing a fourth. Boom friends. I mean your friends might all be in there 40s with drug, back or wife issues… but they will all have some interesting stories and they will pretty much all be down for whatever if it gets them out of the house and away from adult responsibility.

        Solid advice. You don’t even need to be good to have a good time or make friends. Also, some of the best games of golf I played were with dudes 40 years older than me full of stories for a time I wasn’t alive for. Highly recommend.

          You should at least practice enough to be okay though. Otherwise you will likely slow down the game and piss more serious players off. Even if your group doesn’t care, the group behind you might.
