Yeah, I tried reading some stuff, but I don't even have enough basic knowledge to properly understand it.
I'm going to use the Vadon Grip! if I remember how to set up my hands when I get there.

I'll probably just wear a polo, visor, runners and a skort or something.. I don't know yet.. I know there's dress code and stuff.

Ares had this to say about (_|_):
(I'm getting a gold cart. That will probably be the most enjoyment for me..)
I'd have fun drivin that kinda bling too. Joking aside...go to a driving range to get a feel for it. Practice with both woods and irons (ie, the clubs for teeing off and playing from the fairway). Many places will also have practice greens for you to practice putting. Finally, if you're feeling ambitious (and you can do this at home), practice hitting from the rough. Find thick grass or overgrowth in your yard, and practice hitting out of it. Cuz if you're a new golfer...you WILL be playing out of the rough 
Lastly, and probably most importantly, have fun. You're going to stink the first time out. I still do. If you don't put yourself in a mindset of just enjoying it, it will be the most frustrating game ever. But if you just go out to have fun and learn, you'll have a great time. Best luck!

I leave tomorrow, no time for a driving range.

It's very counter-intuitive.
Most people just swing away and clobber the fuck out of the ball, but don't even know how to set up your swing. Every club has a different size and angled face, and they are like this for a reason.
The best way to describe it is to tell you to pick up a.. we'll say a six-iron. You hold it so that the face is flat against the ball, and your hands should actually be way out in front. The club head should be 'lagging' behind your hands, because of how yo- augh god I wish I had some clubs around, I'd show you with video. 
It's not something people hear about.
Getting a proper golf swing takes a lot of time. Your best bet is going to be just trying to make contact and play a short game (dont go for power at all).
Keep your upperbody over the ball as much as possible, and eyes on it until you make contact.
Just don't let it get you frustrated, I've been playing for 15 years and still laugh at myself whenever I mess up.
Give up.
GIVE UP.
Make sure the clubs you're using are the right length for you.
Listen to the people around you.

A LOT.
And then after trying and trying endlessly to actually hit it properly, you'll get a good, solid hit way off to the left. Into the water.
Keep your feet Squared (equal distance from the light of flight or the invisible line between your ball and its target.)
Keep your knees slightly bent throughout the swing. Don't let your weight shift too much on your right knee/leg or let it straighten up.
Pull back the club from the ball but keep your right hip from turning much. You want to create a rubberband effect where your shoulders are turning against your hip. Left shoulder should be slightly down and between the chin and right hip at the cusp of your backswing. Then left it come swinging back down to hit the ball and make sure you follow through.
Those get funnier every time you use them.

Maradon! had this to say about John Romero:
Those fake golf balls that explode into a cloud of talcum powder are the real key.Those get funnier every time you use them.
If you can't beat them, make them laugh, eh?
Your first day, don't worry about playing the game so much as just making contact with the ball. That should be your focus. By the end of the round, you should be able to at least make contact with the ball, for better or worse, most of the time.

nem-x painfully thought these words up:
Wear a glove.
Its good advice.
If you start getting blisters it usually means you are holding the club wrong/too tightly.
I would give you pointers about your swing but like its been said its pretty impossible. If you want to get better go see a golf coach.
I like golfing too

Yeah.. of the grass, the ball, the club... that divot you're gonna knock 30 yards.. while the ball goes 10.. the golf cart, the parking lot.. the male golfers asses..

Some courses are very nice; pictures of the grounds are interesting to look at IMHO. WhatÂ’s wrong with asking for pictures of her outing? Why am I creepy for asking or stating I think Ares is pretty? It's not as if I have not asked other people to post pictures of this or that, or I have not complimented other people here.
Since when has it become wrong to give someone a compliment?
It is very very creepy. Pvednes fucked around with this message on 09-03-2006 at 04:51 PM.
I used a 9-iron most of the course, even for tee-off because I couldn't get used to the driver (I think it was too long for me).
And, no pictures.

Yeah, totally ignore my advice about making sure club lengths are right for you.
PSHA. See if I ever try to be helpful again.

Pssh.. I didn't have a choice as to what clubs I got.
Besides, all clubs all made the same length except custom ones. Or so I was told.
I used my BF's dad's clubs. He had two sets that we borrowed.

Edit: Also, some different brand complete sets can have slightly different lengths of clubs. From what I have seen anyway.
