A Beginning Golf Lesson

Posted in Uncategorized on August 10th, 2010 by admin – Be the first to comment

If you are brand new to the game of golf, before you even pick up a club, you should learn a little bit about the terminology and etiquette.

Hopefully, you know that a birdie or eagle is not something that flys, but a good score in golf. A two iron is not a household appliance for pressing the wrinkles out of your clothes and a dogleg is not an animal part.

Etiquette is an important part of golf. A good lesson for a beginner golfer is to learn the basics. Don’t talk while someone is teeing off. Don’t stand in the line of vision of somebody who is putting. Never get impatient and “hit up” on a group ahead of you that you think is playing too slow.

Eventually, as you play a few rounds, you will be comfortable knowing you are playing the game the right way.

Sacred Nine

I love this game more than I can express in words. I not only love practicing and playing the game, I love reading books about golf. I don’t just read training books. I love all books about golf. This includes the larger history of the game, personal histories, and the history of various golf courses. I’m like a golf book junkie. I will read any books about golf, and I just can’t get enough. I’ve read most of what the local bookstore and local library have to offer. Recently I have turned my attention to rare books about golf. I hunt for them online, such as eBay, and at used bookstores. My most recent acquisition is a charming read, The Sacred Nine, which has been out of print for nearly 20 years.
