I usually play in three member guest tourny's a year. One is mostly for fun, but the other two are for some serious cash. I take the same approach to all three. If I'm feeling a little nervous on the practice range I'll have a beer or two before I tee off to help take the edge off. I will always remember the first year I played in the big event and had to tee off on the 10th hole in front of about 50 people and dribbled it off the tee into the lake. I could feel my playing partner tighten up right away. We downed a few beers (mostly to calm me down) and then I relaxed and played some decent golf the rest of the day. It really is up to you though. Some people respond well to pressure and nerves and some don't. Best thing is to pace yourself with all of the events going on and try to focus on the golf!
