How Do You Learn To Play Golf? November 26, 2010 at 2:37 pm
Golf is about the only sport I really like to play, and other people seem to like it just as much as me because golf courses are springing up all over the place now. I think the best think about golf is that you can enjoy it anywhere and at any time, you can even go to beautiful places like Spain and enjoy the scenery and weather while playing a round. Imagine going to Spain on holiday and then trying to enjoy a game of baseball, you’d never find anyone to play with, you’d be exhausted, hot and sweaty, and probably wouldn’t enjoy yourself much!
I think golf is quite a simple game too which is helping it to become popular, that does not mean it is easy though! It is a game that anyone of almost any age can enjoy, and most people will be ok at, but few will ever master. So how do you get started?
I think the quickest way to get started is to pay for some lessons, then you get taught exactly how to swing properly, and you get feedback right there and then as you have a go yourself. Once you have had a few lessons then you should be good enough to hit the ball long and straight, most of the time anyway, and then you can think about playing by yourself for practice or joining in with your friends.
Once you are ready to play by yourself then speak to your golf instructor about what they think are the best golf irons for you to use. You can actually hire clubs from most pro shops, which is great if you only play twice a year. However the problem with that is you never get used to how your clubs feel so you can never get the most out of them like you could with your own set.
