What path would you recommend to learn to play golf? I have gone to a driving range a couple of times. Take lessons at the driving range? Sign up for a series of lessons at a (public) golf course? Watch YouTube videos? All the above -something else? Also I've been told it's all about the short game and putting -too much emphasis is wasted on driving - so concentrate on the short game. Is that mostly true? Thanks guys. Click to expand... I highly recommend at least 3 or 4 lessons to learn the fundamentals...find a local pro who's got good reviews whether at the range or a public course...once you can strike the ball and get it going...go play! Playing is the best practice imo...starting to play with a do it yourself homemade swing is not good imo...once you start those bad habits...you won't ever really be able to correct them...and yes the short game is crucial to scoring...I'd say more important than distance off the tee with your driver |
