How do you get into golf. My friends go golfing but i suck and dont want them to wait on me. Ive played multiple sports all my life and really competitive but for some reason i cant swing a club to save my life. Is the best thing to start out hire a trainer Or do i just go to a range and embarrass myself

You don’t have to be good to keep pace. Hit off the tee box, if you aren’t hitting it at least 100 yards forward, go drop one in the fairway at 150. If you’re not comfortable getting out of a bunker, pull it out. When everyone else is one the green, hit one more, if you don’t make it, go place one on the green. Good to practice real scenarios and that way you can be out enjoying yourself on the course. As long as you do that, you shouldn’t feel too stressed.

Everyone sucks at golf in the beginning, just enjoy the time with your friends and keep at it

Pay for a few classes to get some form down and after hit the range more. Nobody cares if you suck at the range since you’re not slowing down the group behind you

like

1) get lessons to get basic foundation 2) put in a lot of range time

Once 1 and 2 are done and you aren’t absolutely shitty at golf (and assuming your friends aren’t scratch), you will be fine. Not about being good at golf, more about the company you are with. At the same time, nobody wants to play with someone that takes forever

YouTube as well lol, like all filthy casuals spend too much time on golf YouTube and slowly but surely get from the 100’s to the 90’s

Worth doing a few lessons or if you have someone who is good and takes lessons, usually they’re enough to help you.

Also, if you’re worried about pace of play, try only hitting irons, take the old man approach by hitting shorter & straighter. Then you’ll be able to work exclusively on irons and that’ll get you from chipping to 200+ yards.

Also there’s a golf fishbowl that’s semi active with helpful people.

Take two martini's

Golf is a very technical sport. Try taking lessons and going to the range a few times a month. Think of it as a nice way to get out of the house and go for a walk
