That sounds like some good advice, and I will keep it in mind. I am hoping to do mostly walking (always good to get in where you can). As for positioning during, I am hoping that being with a small group of people I will be able to observer their behavior and there-by the proper ettiquites well. Thanks for the tip about not talking when someone is up, I hadn't even thought about that, I wouldn't want to be rude!

Yeah, I want to play cause I hear him and some of our engineers (we are engineering technicians) going out pretty often. I think it'd be fun to do with them all. I am lucky in the fact that my friend/co-worker has an old set of clubs he said he can let me borrow. ^^ Otherwise I'd be much more hesitant. It looks like a lot of fun, but if i'm so terrible that i'm chucking every single ball into the woods or something like that, it could potentially be frustraiting. Don't get me wrong, however. I don't expect to shoot anywhere near what they're shooting (I'm not actually sure on how scoring works yet) and will have fun even if I do the worst out of everyone, as long as I'm able to complete the course. ^^

I was just talking to a co-worker/friend of mine and he said he plays and has a set of clubs he'd let me use to try it out. ^^ He suggested going to a driving range first though.

Hello, I'm an engineering tech. in Cincinnati Ohio. I have been wanting to try out golfing to see if I like it, but I am not sure where to start. Clearly I don't want to plunk down hundreds of dollars on clubs without trying it out first. Where do I start? Thanks for your help!
