As an adult beginner in golfing, what tips do people have to offer?

artlogical asked:


I’m starting as a beginner in golf. I’m now in my 30’s, and this good summer weather is making me think of getting involved in something physical, but not too strenuous. So, I went to the driving range for the first time in forever yesterday. I practiced my swing with a driver, and with time, started to get good, straight drives in. Now I have to look for advice that will make my swing and an eventual 9-hole game “good enough”.

Of course there a lots of websites out there, and I’ve already investigated many. I’ve also started shopping on-line and in stores for a beginner’s gold club set (complete) that can get me by for a couple years while I improve my game.

So do you all have any advice, tips, or references on playing the game and selecting equipment for an adult beginner golfer?
P.S. - I do have a friend who is quite good and experienced teaching me on the range. So please, no answers worth 2 points that read “take lessons” unless you are specific with directions on where or who from to find good lessons from.

What to Expect in Affordable Golf Clubs

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

Jeffrey Veal asked:


Golf is a hobby that was once considered a interest for the wealthy among us. Today, we are finding individuals from all walks of life taking up this noble sport. Not everyone who has a genuine interest in learning the game of golf can dish out a ton of money on golf clubs and accessories. They are not absolutely sure that they will love the reality of playing golf nearly as much as they enjoy the thought of playing golf

This is one sport that you will love one minute, and the next minute find yourself swearing that you’ll never play it again. Just when you are about to throw in the towel, you hit the shot of your life. Golf will have you feeling as though you have been riding an emotional roller coaster. Buying a set of affordable golf clubs is an effective start to getting in contact with your innermost golfer. Do not go out and purchase an overpriced set of golf clubs if they are going to spend most of their time in your closet.

The money that you save on purchasing a affordable set of golf clubs could be applied to other things, such as getting some golf lessons. Some low-cost golf clubs and a few solid lessons will get you on your way to becoming the most complete golfer you can be. Once you decide that golf just might be for you, then you can think about buying a more expensive set of golf clubs.

Thanks to the power of the net, you don’t have to settle for places close by to find the most generous deal on a set of clubs. Attempt to refrain from only searching for the cheaper, less common brands of clubs. You can obtain a solid, secondhand set of brand name clubs at sporting good consignment stores or online auction sites.

With a little bit of investigating, you can obtain a great set of used golf clubs for a lot less than you would usually pay if they were brand new. You can actually get a good set of used brand name clubs for less than you would pay for a set of new, less known clubs from a retail shop. Prices for a set of discount brand golf clubs start at about a $100, and they are adequate to get you started on your way.

Just remember that sometimes you do get what you pay for, especially when it comes to buying golf clubs. It’s up to you as to whether a set of the lesser known brand clubs will be up to your criteria. The less recognizable clubs will at least help you to get sense for the sport. Don’t think that it’s an all or nothing deal with golf clubs. As your golf game gets better, you can replace each club with a more effective club one club at a time to end up with a great set of clubs.

Choosing Golf Clubs- Which Will FulFill Your Choice?

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Abhishek Agarwal asked:


Picking up suitable golf clubs is significant in the sport of golf. Quite many things are considered when golf clubs are purchased. If you are unaware about what to purchase, then this piece of information would be helpful. Knowing about which club to purchase is general information required for all and is mandatory for regular golfers. Some Golf stores might also provide you with few words of wisdom helping you in some manner. Your essential goal should be purchasing a golf club suiting your swinging style as making a mistake here would disrupt your game.

It is essential to know at the outset about the Golf clubs you would need. Every set comprises a sum of 14 clubs. They are classified in putters, woods and irons. Golfing work which is distance-specific and where distance is gauged by size and weight of the head uses irons. These are quite often made use of, and are common in the fields of golf. Woods are used in case of real large distances and also their accuracy level is much lower compared to that of irons. One requires hitting the ball many times with wood to get an idea about the exact distance it will cover when stroked. Strokes where the level of accuracy is high, or shorter swings, putters are used. They help in obtaining highest accuracy when compared to other available clubs. When a total Golf club collection is desired, you would have to buy one of each variety.

For beginners

Beginners would not prefer buying entire golf sets. In such cases, adjustable golf clubs could be purchased as they can be modified according to the use. The entire 14 pieces could be reduced to 5 or 6. Adjustable clubs would make you would carry less and also assist you in perfecting them in the course of time. You would gradually know the statistics of the distance and the like. Once comfortable, you can then go about purchasing more permanent golf sets. Until then adjustable gold clubs would be a wise choice for every beginner.

Golfers have two varied opinion about Graphite. Some advocate for it, as they say they are lighter and assist in forceful and customized swings within limits. As they are light, the shots can be customized. Few golfers, who are not convinced with graphite, consider using steel. Many feel graphite clubs are expensive and do not bring great value for money. People can go for steel clubs if they prefer ones with heavier weight so that the momentum could be felt. Furthermore, in cases of harder strokes, steel clubs are best advisable. The speed of your swing or shot entirely depends up on the weight of the gold clubs. If you are in a habit of going for faster swings, then a lighter golf club would be an ideal choice as swings become forceful. On the other hand if you plan to hit a less forceful shot, heavier golf clubs become wise alternatives as it would add the extra momentum.

Evidently, choosing a golf club has never been a quick or easy task for any professional player. This is not less expensive either. Until one makes a great golfer, you need not worry about spin and head weight and spin. When you are a beginner you need to master the art of golf by not very expensive golf clubs. Expensive choices could be further made when you have brought in the required skill for the sport. It is wise to master yourself with the existing clubs till perfection is met. Most golfers regret having spent a fortune on expensive clubs when in the beginning stages. Hence, ensure not going for fancier equipments before you gain experience in the game.

Has anyone attempted to glue a golf iron to the shaft?

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009
golf shop
Hempington asked:


Thought I might be able to get away without the time and expense of taking my 7-iron to the golf shop for repairs. I have a bottle of extra strenght Gorrilla Glue…

Thoughts?
Gene- The seven iron came undone when I was playing badly and attempted to “negoitiate” the ball and an oak tree.
If it was my only ultimate club, how could I finish the round and obtain an even higher level of frustration?
Gene- you deserve BA on many levels-particularly for the cautionary note when confronted with a man using a putter on a par three!

But I believe you miss the true spirit of golf (at least the golf I have learned to love), that involves the worthless use of many heavy, unforgiving clubs that consistently highlight ones human frailty!
QT- Thankyou and Jow for your well-founded advise. Your widom could not be even more on target had you been privy to my past attempts at plumbing (we finally got the water to stop) and sheet-rocking (a picture covered most of the damage).
Qt- in the best of all worlds, well deserving of BA. Giving enough time and fortitude it may well have been able to alter my course from a fools mission. But the days are getting short…fewer and fewer opportunities to self-sabatoge via golf!
