10 Things Every Golfer Should Do

From Golf Digest (Aug 2005), some things to do before turning in your last scorecard.

1. Play as a single - meet golfers from all walks of life.
2. Go on golf-only trip.
3. Play all day, until too dark to see. Tee off at sunrise and play until sunset.
   
4. Dedicate 2 months to a part of the game you hate the most.
5. Win something - enter a tournament, competition, etc. Pressure of playing for something is thrilling.
6. Play in bad weather, where you're just about the only group left on the course.
7. Make a hole-in-one (obviously need some luck), hit 300 yd drive, drive a short par 4, shoot your age, make an eagle... some personal best you aren't likely to repeat
8. Play at the TPC Stadium course at Sawgrass. Where the Players Championship is, home of the island 17th green.
9. Watch Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam play in person.
10. Watch the Masters (or at least a practice round) in person.

Some from the "also ran" list:

• play the entire course with a sand-wedge (or some other club)
  
• play in a Pro-Am with a pro you actually recognize
• play reverse-handed for 9 holes
• play a seaside course and for the hell of it, blast a ball out into the ocean
• call in sick to play 18 holes
• sleep in your car to earn a tee time
•
