Whats the best way to learn to play golf? I have no experience…?
but it seems like when I research the golf courses in my area they don’t have anything for beginners.
Any suggestions?
Contact a local golf course that gives lessons. Take a few lessons (they will be cheaper if you can get someone else to take them at the same time). Let the instructor tell you when you are ready to hit the course.
Play with someone who has been playing for awhile and they can teach the rules as you go along.
When you first start, you are going to play slow, so keep you eye out for those that are behind you. Let them play through and you won’t have to be worried about them anymore. I hate to hold someone up, plus I still get a little self conscious when someone I don’t know is watching me.
When I started, I stopped counting at 8 strokes on any hole. My partner suggested this so I would get discouraged and want to quit.
Good luck and welcome to the game.

You need lessons. Go to a driving range or golf course and ask. Golf is complex, and your swing mechanics are essential… you’ll need at least a few lessons before you should even think about setting foot on a golf course; you’ll get chewed out for slow play and you’ll lose about $30 worth of golf balls.

Go to a driving range and when you can hit the ball straight go to a par three course .

You go to your local golf course and ask for lessons from their PGA professional. But you have to practice, and hit balls on the range. A lot. In the beginning you will hit all of them low, and they will skid along the ground, but that’s part of learning it.

Find a qualified golf instructor and take lessons. You may need the call the golf courses or golf specialty shops in your area and ask do they offer lessons. The next best thing is to get "Ben Hogan’s Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf" read it and practice it.

Call the pro shop of your nearest golf course and inquire if they give lessons to beginners, get the price as well as the number of lessons. Then check with the local PGA section and find out what kind of teacher that pro may be.

Find a place that offers lessons. I take private lessons at my local country club. They may or may not require you to be a member. It can get pricy though. Each lesson I take is about $60-80. I only go once or twice a month, though. Private lessons are the best and well worth the money.

Most golf courses have golf pros who teach beginners but if not then go to the library and check out a video tape on how to play the game. Also watch the golf channel on TV for they have free lessons on how to play. Good luck and good golfing.

The recurring theme in all the answers is: get lessons. A group booking will be cheaper but you shouldnt try and do things on the cheap. Get one-on-one tuition from a PGA-qualified pro. The local driving range is a great place to start loooking for a teacher, and I say start looking, because you need to find a tutor you like and you can get on with. Take a trial/beginner lesson, and if you ‘get on’ with the pro then book some more. Failing the ranges, most courses have a tutor who can offer lessons. Whichever pro you choose, make sure to listen to what they say, practice any drills you are given and ask about anything you arent sure of.
The other thing to remember is that golf requires practice, and its not always easy, so don’t think you’re going to be fantastic straight away – be prepared to take it slowly and make steady progress. Best of luck, and have fun.
