Golf. I'm 39 and started playing last fall. Without a doubt the hardest game I've ever played. I've played nearly every sport and with this game it is something different every day. I teach and coach, it is like shooting a Free Throw with every shot.

Best advice you can get is...do for yourself as you do for others. GET TAUGHT. TAKE LESSONS FROM A QUALIFIED PRO.

Thanks. I've thought about getting lessons and getting fit for the right clubs. I feel like I've improved a lot on my own and waiting for a few more weeks before I go. I wanted to wait till I kind of knew what was going on and could understand what he was talking about.

A GREAT teaching pro will simplify and say things in such a way that you or anyone at any level will understand what he's talking about. Beware of the pro that wants to teach you everything HE knows and is too complex when it comes to angles, planes, positions, and other things of that nature, especially in the beginning. If he/she does...RUN!! RUN as fast as you can and don't look back! You'll be a head case for the rest of your life.

Equipment Thanks. I like buying and trying equipment and thats what I did when I started. Then I decided to buy all Titleist equipment. I played sports all my life, slow pitch softball for many many years and I did the same thing with bats. Expensive way of doing things but you can always sell what you don't like. Friends really like this because they can try the equipment as well.

Welcome to the forum, I'm new too! Pro lessons? In my opinion, overrated. Read all you can and use a video camera, that's what I did :)

LMFAO. Good thing Tiger didn't do that and still doesn't.

And what about the rest of the PGA tour members that have had lessons since childhood and regular teaching pros that they lean on all the time? I don't know whether you were being serious in your original post about lessons or just jerking around.
