Warming Up: Before playing in an outing, hit balls first and then drink last.
The worse thing you could do when playing in an outing is not warm up. There are lots of ways to warm up; taking a couple clubs and swinging them, hitting balls, chipping, pitching and putting.
What do the pros do before they play in a golf tournament?
They hit balls first and then go to the putting green because they want the feel of the speed of the greens before they go out and play.
Now, if you are just there to have fun, start drinking in your car before you get there.
Regardless, pace yourself, moderation and more than likely, it's a business outing so don't make a fool of yourself.
There are a few ways to hit the ball longer: 1) Get more upright. The best way to teach yourself to get upright is to place a ball under your back armpit and then make sure to drop it at the top of your backswing. Getting more upright creates a bigger arch, longer swing, more whip. 2). When you get the swing to the top rotate your hips as fast as you can too through the ball. I know people who've gone to $1500 a weekend golf camp to learn to do it. That's crazy! Especially, when you can do it yourself. Another way is to work out and stretch. A great exercise to do to increase your rotation is to get a 5lbs. ball and throw it toward the target. Best if you have at least two people. This exercise will naturally help you rotate through the ball. Good luck,
