Was invited to play this morning with a five handicapper, and a friend of mine who is an ex professional. My friend is an ex professional and is fun to play with, he's an amazing golfer, I feel comfortable playing within even know I am not anywhere near his level, because he's my friend. The other guys at new guy who I don't know but it was also a tremendous golfer. Me, am not so good. I should've played for the experience, but I didn't out of intimidation.

Does anyone have any tips or input on how to handle this situation. I just started playing in March, I really really love playing. However, I have is seen need a tremendous amount of improvement.

Next time you get the chance, play with them. They will have mounds of knowledge and can help you with your game. Whenever I get the chance to play with silly's I jump at it. Like others have said, we all have to learn how to play. Try not to be intimidated and you will be surprised at how good you play.
