The `Toxic` singer - who recently signed up to become a judge on the US `X Factor` - took the advice of her fiancé Jason Trawick who suggested she play the sport to help her relax.
However, fellow golfers have been struggling to deal with Britney`s inability to play the game as she regularly lets go of her club and cannot hit the ball.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It`s heads-up when she`s around. She`s hit a few golfers and managed to land balls in golf carts. But she`s a good sport and laughs at herself."
Britney is not the only star who has taken to the game recently - `Salmon Fishing in the Yemen` actress Emily Blunt also admitted she was obsessed with the sport, even purchasing special outfits to wear on the golf course.
She said: "I`ve just started to play golf. I really like being outdoors and there`s something cool about whizzing around on a golf cart with ice-cold beers.
"I even have a golf outfit, which I like to wear."
Britney`s ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake is also a fan of the game, even admitting he would rather be a scratch golfer than a pop star, but admitted his performance suffers when he has a lot of other work to do.
He previously said: "My game is pretty terrible. You know, it`s that old thing. When the work is good, the game suffers. But you work so you can play."
