Fun Player

Problem

You are by far, the worst player in your group.

Cure

Before playing with a new group, it is always best to be honest about your handicap or playing ability. This will help relieve you of any stress of having to play better than you really do so you can just be yourself.

Therapy

Be certain to practice before playing the round. Professional players warm up for at least 30 minutes before playing and so should you. This will give you a chance to get a feel for how you are playing each club and to warm up your muscles. Do not let your shortcomings get you down. Make sure you swing within yourself and have realistic expectations for every shot. So, even if the other players are pulling out their 7 iron when you need your 3 wood, use whichever club that will reach your desired target area. Just keep in mind that even if you are playing poorly, it is always more enjoyable to play with a fun, relaxed player than it is playing with someone who is complaining or even swearing about their shots. So, go out and have a fun round!
