How can I learn to golf in one day?

NONAME asked:

I’m in mid-level management and my telecommunications company is in the final stages of a merger with another company. The final negotiations are set to follow (of all things) a game of golf tomorrow morning. I am supposed to tee off with both company presidents and one of the tech. specialists. I have never even swung a club before, and I’ve always been horrible at sports.

What is the easiest way to square club face at impact?

16 handicapper asked:

Hello world!

So I am a 16.2 handicapper. Inside 100 yards, I am ok. Chipping and putting are pretty easy for me.

Problem: I cannot seem to square club face at impact. How do you do that?

My swing speed is not fast either. It is about 75 miles per hour.

Since the ball does not fly straight, it really affects my greens in regulation. In a round, I would probably hit 2 greens in regulation.

Any help/tips/suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Here are some possibilities:

1. My swing is too hand-sy.
2. Inproper timing.
3. Club face open at impact.
4. Club face closed at impact.
