Hello! I've never played golf before, but always have wanted to learn. I've never been super athletic but I have a love for technique (for example, I swan for years and was never very fast, but I have very efficient, smooth strokes.) So, I thought golf would be a good fit, as I'm under the impression (maybe falsely...) that it is a very technical sport.

I'm going to be joining the local country club in the upcoming weeks and will start taking lessons soon after. I bought a set of clubs from my landlord's granddaughter and have been playing around with them ever since.

But the truth is I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. So I bought some books about golf from Amazon and joined this forum in the hopes that those things, in addition to my upcoming lessons, will help me begin learning all there is to know about this great sport.

The first thought that occured to me after reading your post was, be careful about information over load, but I really like your enthusiasm. Very good idea to get lessons cuz if you don't get the fundamentals down in this game it will driver you nuts. Hell, my basics are good and the damn game can still drive me nuts. A touch of masochism is also a good thing with this game. So, welcome to the site and good luck with your golf.
