A. Ok well depends on how much u have played in the past and if u really enjoy it or not ? I would recomended a cheaper set from walmart or a pawn shop if u are not sure u are going to be playing alot but i u think you are going to play every weekend go to a pro shop and pay what u want because they range to whatever u want to pay !!!

A. Golf lessons aren't the be all end all for golf success, but going to a PGA professional can provide a solid base. They can get you into good habits right away and that is very important. Beginner books do work if the one who's reading them understands you can learn only so much by reading. Take those lessons to the range, practice areas and course. If you go to the range, don't just hit balls anywhere. Pick spots and aim for specific targets. Lastly, spend most of your time putting and chipping. If you can become a good putter, you are well on your way to becoming a solid golfer.

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… [cont.]

A. I was just about in the same boat you were in. I started mid twenties. Started just playing nine holes here and there, was shooting high 50s. Worked majorly on my short game and started playing 18 all of the time. Hit the putting green before and after a round. Finally broke 100 last year, that was a bear. Now i know i have inconsistencies in my swing, therefore i am going to break down and take lessons. Tweaking my grip, trying different grips helped me find somewhat of a consistency which led to knocking off many strokes. Of course do this at the range. Club fitting helped as well, at 6' 3" and my build i had to jump up a little over a half inch on my clubs. I didn't break the bank on irons yet though. Just got a set of Tommy… [cont.]
