| Here's another vote for some lessons.
It's kind of like learning to drive - you have watched others do it most of your life, but if someone other than a professional teaches you, they are likely to teach you all their bad habits that almost every driver inevitably picks up. Plus, the pro can teach you tiny little things that make a difference to your score on the test, but you probably won't do all the time (like turn your head visibly when you look left & right instead of relying on peripheral vision). Of course, that's driving and this is golf, but I still think lessons from someone who knows what they're doing are the best way to learn. Doesn't have to be a past champion or anything - most courses have a pro who gives lessons.
I'd practice putting a lot too, especially in the early days when you might not be able to play as often because your body is hurting after a few hours on the course doing something it's not used to. So, I wouldn't play too often until you build up the muscles you need for golf, but putting is easy and a great way to build your confidence as well as skill level. |
