How good does one have to be to accept a golf invite from corporate peers? I want to be respectful of their hobby and not hinderance.

Don’t worry about your skill level, just play quickly and know when you should just pick up your ball and move on.

@P1 don’t have sticks. Should I rent? I am literally terrible.

See if it’s a scramble

How far out is this invite? And how terrible are you? I personally would defer until I have had a chance to take some lessons and practice on a course. But that’s because I’ve only ever been to the driving range and never on a golf course, and would definitely not be a fun sport without the presence of copious amounts of alcohol 😂
Deloitte wellness subsidy covers golf equipment last I checked btw

Not saying it’s right, but I played with a couple partners and a person who had never played before. We were all pretty annoyed b/c the day was pretty much spent chasing down their shots. I was pretty pissed at the lack of awareness from this person.

P1 is spot on - if you play quickly and know when to “pick up” or just leave a lost ball, you’ll be fine. People get pissed (both in your group and behind you) when you’re consistently looking for a shot, causing the round to go 5+ hours
