Thanks guys! There was plenty of drinking being done, 12 of us killed 2 30 packs by the 13th hole. It was a good time – I shot like crap but it was my first time every playing. I did have a couple nice drives and a sweet putt.

Your head may hurt a little less after a day of golf, but don’t think that a day of golfing with business associates isn’t going to include a lot of drinking!
