Hi sylvie. Here at the local community college they offer beginners golf lessons. Both my mom and younger sister took the class so they could join their hubbies on the course.

I certainly would encourage you and everyone to give it a try. Private instruction can be a bit pricey, but is well worth it to avoid starting out with bad habits. Most driving ranges and golf courses have a teaching pro on staff. They have all the clubs for you to use too so you don't have to buy before you get addicted!

There is a guy i work with that actually had private instruction and the pricing wasnt that bad.. i think maybe because he knew him, i will have to ask him some questions about that, because i would love to learn properly - and would love to learn prior to putting money into buying clubs, etc..

the whole thought is kind of exciting..
when i was young, i used to escape the homelife and go to the golf course, we lived in a small country community which had a school, a store and a golf course.. i would often sit and watch and follow golfers around for hours and found much peace there, actually.. and always wanted to learn..♥

thanks for the encouragement and advice!

sylvie, that is a great way to start. There is also cost saving to be had when buying clubs, there really is no reason to buy new when you are learning. Sometimes Goodwill and the Salvation Army receive clubs as donations. There is Craig's List, though you should always take someone with you and also eBay. The best place is people you know that golf usually have an extra set when the bought new ones.

Ask questions and go tee it up!

Just back from a great round of golf....Great for me.
I broke 100! Shot 96 46 on the front 9 and 50 on the back

The best part was making par on 5 holes. I was 1 or 2 over par on 11 holes and only 2 dreaded triple bogies!

Time for a nap!

Have a great day!
