Yeah - after the ribbing I got originally, almost everyone in my office admitted they aren't very good. The managing attorney of the office is apparently a fantastic golfer (close to a scratch golfer), and my boss is pretty good, but besides that, no one is breaking course records out there.

Plus, most attorneys who have enough time to make it onto the course often enough to stay good are either a.) crappy to the point where they're putting in a short week (the "Of Counsel" corollary) or b.) so far up the partner totem that I can't afford to gamble with them anyway, so it's kind of a self-selection thing.
