Im considering playing golf

[johnjoeefc]

Just wanted some advice if possible. I played a few times at Bootle when I was a teenager but now I'm getting older I've got a taste to get back involved.

Would appreciate some people with experience giving some advice on what clubs I should choose, and how to go about learning in the best and most progressive way.

I've seen some Callaway edge clubs on Costco for around £450 but they are sold out unfortunately. Any pros and cons on taking up the sport welcome as well

Get in the Hole lad thats all I have to offer.




Nah good luck with it.

Find out when " ladies day " is and avoid it like the plague.

It`d be quicker playing with a herd of strangely dressed tortoise`s playing in front of you.

It's a rough sport when you're green and it'll cost you a wedge to get started.

1. buy a used set of clubs for the first 6 months to be sure you are really getting into it,
2. take the cash you saved and use it for your bar tab after each round, because you'll need it
3. take some lessons (so you have a little less for the bar) because they can make a world of difference to your satisfaction with your game.
4. remember, the name is "wack f#$k", not golf. because you hit the ball "wack" and then say "f#$k" when you see where it went.

Go to your local golf club and speak to the pro about some lessons. Might even offer you the chance to try several sets of different clubs and have a decent second hand set that will be better than new ones at a similar price. Also better to avoid bad habits from the start.

It's a cult. Don't do it.

I only play a couple of times a year. Look forward to it every time. Wish I hadn't bothered before I've played 3 holes every time.

See, @Yarrgh agrees with me, except for forgetting the "go to the bar" part

If you do start .
Never lick your balls clean during a round .

Step one get lessons. Step two practice a ton. Step three have low expectations and just enjoy it when you hit a good shot

Go for a walk instead. Its basically the same thing.
