The game of golf is a wonderful sport that you can play for a lifetime. But if you are an absolute beginner, how do you begin to start playing golf?
First of all, it is not recommended to go out and spend a lot of money on expensive clubs. Though properly fitted and researched clubs can bring about huge improvements in your game, we suggest you do that at a later time when you have a good idea what you are looking for. So in the beginning, borrow some friends or get some used clubs. In fact, all you need when you first start out is few clubs and we recommend a 7 iron, 8 iron and/or a 9 iron.Next, really focus on learning the golf fundamentals. Do not rush to an 18-hole course. Let the driving range be your best friend. Though it is highly recommended that you learn how to play golf first with a PGA licensed instructor, it is not a bad idea to purchase a golf book or two to first familiarize yourself with the game and start learning the fundamentals. That way, you can go into your subsequent lessons with a clue about what is going on.
If you want to go the do-it-yourself route as you learning how to play golf, here is a decent agenda:
1. Buy a credible golf instructional references focused on fundamentals2. Get a few cheap clubs
