Group Golf Lessons for Beginners in Surrey

New Year's resolutions often include promises to do more exercise, join the local gym or go on a diet. None of which on their own sound like much fun to us. But then they're not meant to be fun, they're a sort of punishment for your body for past misdemeanours. And in our experience are thus doomed to end in misery, defeat and disappointment!

A far more sensible plan for the new year is to take up something that is challenging, enjoyable, sociable and may also keep you fit into the bargain - learning to play golf.

The first thing to say is that age doesn't matter. It's almost impossible to be too young or too old. As long as you can move about fairly well, you've passed the first test and you're in!
As you will soon find, everyone's golf technique is different and the scary flexibility of a teenager's golf swing can still be matched by the wily experience of the senior's touch around the green. What your golf swing looks like inside and outside your head can be two entirely different matters, but if it feels right to you and does the job, that's what counts.

So what's the best way to get started? And what do you need in the way of equipment and clothing?

Let's begin by saying that it's worth getting the basics right from the start because if you begin by teaching yourself bad habits which make the game harder, then you have only yourself to blame and will give up golf claiming it to be darn nigh impossible.
And on the subject of equipment and clothing, don't go off and waste a cartload of cash on an expensive set of clubs, bag, electric trolley, Ian Poulter-style clothing and haircut and then feel an idiot when you keep missing the ball. Clue here - it's not the equipment!

In our view, the best way to start is to find the nearest course or driving range which does Group Golf Lessons for Beginners.
Why? Because:
a) You're all starting from more or less the same point so you can laugh and progress together
b) You can start with maybe just a glove and a seven iron and the organisers may even lend you one
c) It's an extremely inexpensive way of finding out if you enjoy the challenge
d) You'll almost certainly find it sociably enjoyable
