How to Start Playing and Enjoy the Game
Starting golf can feel overwhelming — so many clubs, rules, and techniques! But don’t worry: every pro was once a beginner. This quick guide is designed to help you take your first confident steps on the course
1. Start with the Right Clubs
You don’t need a full 14-club set to begin. For beginners, a basic set that includes:
- 1 Driver
-
1 or 2 Irons (like a 7 and 9)
-
1 Wedge
-
1 Putter
is more than enough. Look for beginner-friendly models that are forgiving and easy to hit — we can help you with that in store or with a custom fitting.
2. Learn the Basic Rules & Etiquette
Golf is not just about the swing — it’s also about respect for the game and other players.
Here are a few basics:
-
Be quiet when others are swinging.
-
Keep pace with the group ahead.
-
Repair your divots and ball marks.
-
Never walk in someone’s putting line.

3. Take Lessons Early
Even just 1–2 lessons with a PGA coach or TrackMan session can save you months of frustration. Learn the correct grip, stance, and swing foundation from the start — don’t build bad habits!

4. Focus on Short Game First
Many beginners go straight to the driver — but 70% of golf strokes happen within 100 meters. Practice putting, chipping, and pitching regularly. Mastering this will drastically improve your score and enjoyment.
5. Play 9 Holes — and Don’t Keep Score (Yet)
Skip the pressure. Just enjoy the walk, the scenery, and the learning process. Golf is a game for life — take it slow and celebrate the small wins, like a clean shot or a long putt.
Final Tip: Have Fun!
Golf is as much about friends and fresh air as it is about birdies and bogeys. Keep a positive attitude and you’ll keep improving every round. See you on the course!
