Another n0eb

Hello all,

New to golf, started in... January I think

Still can't hit the damn thing straight!

Hope to get some good golfing advice here - like, which balls and clubs I should buy n stuff.

And if I could ask.. how long did it take you guys to start enjoying golf?

I'm the sort with a business motivation for golf, so I'm not gong to quit until I get good at it. But I have to say, I'm not exactly doing it coz I love it. I wonder if anybody here had similar emotive progressions in golf, i.e. didn't love it starting out and now can't stop thinking about it...

Unless you are naturally talanted. It will be years and years before you start playing good. But that doesn't mean you cant enjoy it. Heck when I first started playing when I was around 21 years old, I had fun, even if I sliced the hell out of it off the tee every time.

The love for the game will come in time, but don't force it. See it as a challenge.

Advice for clubs, balls, etc. Just buy cheap stuff, no reason to spend big bucks on equipment. My first set of clubs I got from a pawn shop for $75.

I don't need to be a club-champ amateur to play it for biz though, do I?

And yea, the little more success I have the more I like it. I went to the range today and hit a little better, going tomorrow and hopefully improve on what I got..

In any case, right now I consider being good at it just possessing the ability to hit the ball long and straight!!
