Roles such as account manager jobs, could give you the chance to go golfing as part of your job. Of course there are few people that would complain about this, but you need to remember that you are representing your company on the golf course.
You need to remember to be professional and have a good sporting attitude. Don't try to lose to make your client happy, this could be obvious and cause insult. You want to be yourself and get to know the client better in a relaxed setting.

Arriving on time is a good start. This will indicate that you understand how valuable the client's time is.
Consider the way you dress. Your clothes show how you want to represent yourself and your company. Go for smart-ish golfing attire.
From tee-off you should play your best. Your conduct is important, so be a good sport. You should not act embarrassed if you are playing well, but do not be cocky either. You need to play your best, but don't be overly competitive. Try not to let the score be the main topic of discussion.
Things can get tricky if your client is cheating or is just a bad golfer. You need to take a judgement call on whether to call them on their cheat, or let it slide. If you are pulling too far ahead you could fluff a few shots. Don't make it obvious though.
The most important thing, at the end of the day, is that your client enjoys him/herself and gets to know you and your company better.
