Lightroom 5 Slideshow question

Please
I need to create a slide show of a shoot of a golf tournament and get it on screen by dinner and then shoot the evening awards dinner event. I want a quick and simple, no frills, don't care about transitions slide show. The one thing I do care about is running the slides in random as I will be shooting two shots of each five some on the tee and don't want the two shots to run back to back. I also won't have time to review and pick the best one. It is a nine hole course with 2 sets on tees so after all nine holes come through I can go and shoot the action shots for nine holes. So is there some command to select that will run the photos at random like a shuffle command on an iPod?
Thank you

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been using LR for years and I am familiar with the interface and logic. I have just never done a slide show and the few tutorials that I reviewed don't specify how to run the photo's in Random order, may not even be possible.

I do wonder however if downloading, learning and running a program I have never used would be faster??? You also never mentioned my Only concern and that is to run the photo's in random order... Can Picassa do that??? If so then it may be worth a look if LR can't. I have 5 days to learn this and create a test show with other pics and i have to work Mon-Tues and Thur. Thanks.

Thanks to all who read this. I found my answer, there is a toggle toward the bottom of the page, Right column, to turn random on or off. Not referenced a lot in tutorials as I guess it's not commonly used. That said it appears when it is turned it also randomly selects the opening title slide and the closing slide. This appears to be a bug. Off to check with Adobe
