    fuck it, i'm gonna learn how to golf [tips pls!]

    i've been wanting to pick up golf for a few years - now i'm determined to learn how to swing a club before Phoenix Forum so i can play in Bugbee's golf tourney.

    is there a quick way to pick up the game? got tips? help a fellow webmaster out here.

        Its not that hard, especially the first year before you find out just how hard it is lol
        (a lot of new golfers have the best year in teh first 5 the first year)

        Go get 4-5 hours of training by a golf pro

        PS: You typically find the aluf golf pro near private or public courses

            Trying to crush the ball will result in hours of ball searching. :P

              Be patient, and let people play through if you suck.

                go out to a driving range - see how you do there - if you're not whiffing too much and hitting the ball 100 yards plus DON'T go get lessons. Lessons for new golfers just paralyze them into thinking about everything - not good. Find a shitty empty course and buy a ton of balls and just play.

                hopefully you're co-ordinated enough that you'll hit enough balls decently that you'll have fun - don't worry about what other people are thinking, let people play through if you're really being a menace.

                  The best tip I got was from Dan; get lessons before you even swing a club!

                    yeah i agree...dont take lessons for awhile....you want to take lessons when you are starting to think you can play golf.

                    just hit the driving range and then try to get on some courses.

                    first year i played i was hitting 125 or so...then the next year 105-110...not im usually 93-98...shot 88 twice this summer
                    it takes time to pick up

                      I'd say get one introduction course from a golf pro. Because standing, lining up, grip and so on is no different for you than it is for Tiger. You can be just as good as him in doing that, so have someone instruct you on the basics. Of course there are details to it, but a good pro can give you the basics in 30 minutes.

                      Start out with an iron set, you do NOT need the longer clubs to start off. And even among the iron clubs, pick out your 7, 9 and SW (sandwedge) club and start with only those three. The are easy to hit with and will still make the ball fly a bit. Notice how the distance differs between your clubs as well as the height of the shot.

                      Buy a lot of range balls and spend an hour or two on the range a couple of times per week. Take easy swings, don't use your muscles, instead focus on just performing the swing, hit the ball and the angle of the club will do the rest, the ball will take off and you can enjoy to see it fly. As you get more and more secure on the swing, you can increase speed and muscle power and try your other clubs too.

                      The iron clubs can be a cheap standard set, but do spend some time tryoing out a putter. Get one you feel secure with and one that makes the ball go where you aim/intended. The putter is your most important club, the only one that you will use on every hole (yeah, I know, Hole in One is an exception as well as lucky shots, but come on) and because of that you should spend some serious time in trying out a putter that you like. It is well worth it.

                            Always, ALWAYS, absolutely ALWAYS keep your head down and your eyes on the ball during your entire swing, including the follow-through portion of your swing. AND, do NOT try to "kill" the ball, or try to put some extra muscle in your swing.

                                Watch my swing on youtube I got lots of golf videos.

                                You should start of with just small pitch shots, make sure you are making contact. Play a buck of shot from inside 75yards, once you feel comfortable then start hitting some 5 irons, then step up to driver......NEVER just learn to hit the big stick, it will come with time..

                                The better you make contact the bigger you can make the swing. Never have to swing hard the ball will fly with just a 3/4 swing...

                                Any tips you can ICQ me: 268731675

                                        Just remember, unless you start when you are pre-teen you will not be pawning chippies like Tiger 'Got Wood' Woods...

                                            is there a quick way to pick up the game? got tips? help a fellow webmaster out here.
                                            First tip: DO NOT TAKE UP GOLF it will consume your life. Smoke crack instead, it's cheaper and less addicting.

                                            Second tip: Just swing the club head and just let the club do what it was design to do.

                                                        As a beginner myself, all I can say is the driving range is a lot cheaper than playing the course.

                                                        Also don't forget the short game, half your shots are chipping or putting so don't just focus on blasting those long drives...

                                                          That is the best advice in this thread.

                                                              I'd say get one introduction course from a golf pro. Because standing, lining up, grip and so on is no different for you than it is for Tiger. You can be just as good as him in doing that, so have someone instruct you on the basics. Of course there are details to it, but a good pro can give you the basics in 30 minutes.

                                                              Start out with an iron set, you do NOT need the longer clubs to start off. And even among the iron clubs, pick out your 7, 9 and SW (sandwedge) club and start with only those three. The are easy to hit with and will still make the ball fly a bit. Notice how the distance differs between your clubs as well as the height of the shot.

                                                              Buy a lot of range balls and spend an hour or two on the range a couple of times per week. Take easy swings, don't use your muscles, instead focus on just performing the swing, hit the ball and the angle of the club will do the rest, the ball will take off and you can enjoy to see it fly. As you get more and more secure on the swing, you can increase speed and muscle power and try your other clubs too.

                                                              The iron clubs can be a cheap standard set, but do spend some time tryoing out a putter. Get one you feel secure with and one that makes the ball go where you aim/intended. The putter is your most important club, the only one that you will use on every hole (yeah, I know, Hole in One is an exception as well as lucky shots, but come on) and because of that you should spend some serious time in trying out a putter that you like. It is well worth it.
                                                              You might as well print this and put it in your golf bag

                                                              Golf is a game of power AND finesse and a slight change in something like your grip, stance or swing can make a HUGE difference. That's where the lessons come in handy and will help you from becoming a slicer or a hooker

                                                                                Golf is a notoriously difficult game to learn. Go in knowing it will take time.

                                                                                The only way to speed up your learning (or slow it down) is to get a coach. It will make you better faster, in the longer run, but slow down your natural learning because lessons taught by a good coach will give you a foundation in the correct fundamentals. So it's slower at the very beginning, but if you're serious about it, well worth the time and effort because it's harder to fix bad habits later, and eventually, you'll want to be good. Having a pro coach you is the only way to become a decent golfer.

                                                                                  Also don't forget the short game, half your shots are chipping or putting so don't just focus on blasting those long drives...

                                                                                          Driving/long shots, it's a matter of technique NOT strength. You will not get the ball any farther (except the forest/lakes around the course) if you try to force it longer.
