Newbie here from South Florida.

I never in my life thought that I would take up golf but here I am trying to learn. I guess as we age, our ideas of what might be fun change. Plus, I'm retiring in 3 years so I should have plenty of time to kill. That along with the fact that you can't throw a rock around my area without hitting a golf course made me decide to take up the game.

I had my first lesson today ( I signed up for 4 weeks of lessons, one day per week) and we basically concentrated on the golf swing. I have absolutely no experience and I did pretty good. The instructor was complimentary but maybe because he wanted me to return next week He was happy that I hit the ball straight. I was happy that I actually hit the ball.

I'm looking forward to gleaning information from all the knowledgable people on this board.

Hi Eddie...really if you were hitting the ball with any consistency in your first lesson, you're doing awesome!
Golf is a hard game--doesn't look like it should be, but it is!
Good luck!

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
