Quote Superfly at 20 Apr 2015 5.06pm tbh, I wouldn't worry about too much preperation. If you're going to a 9 hole then it should be fairly forgiving. I had my first round (at Addington 9 hole - which is a perfect starter course) about 15 years ago and we just rocked up and tried it. My mate had about 15 swings on the first tee before hitting it You will be rubbish. But, 2 or 3 times in the round you'll connect perfectly and effortlessly send it flying. And then you'll want to do that again Edited by Superfly (20 Apr 2015 5.07pm) That's the trouble. One good shot and it's got you. I got par on my first ever hole of golf but didn't break 100 for ages. Optimistic as ever

Definately have at least one lesson so you can get your grip and stance sorted it is well worth the money to get the fundamentals right from the off, I go out at least once a week and at roughly the same time and see the same people making the same mistakes time and time again and are too stubborn to admit their swing is at fault. Less is more when it comes to getting the ball down the fairway, just relax hold the club gently and think of swinging through the ball rather than just hitting it .Accuracy is far better than distance but by being relaxed you will gain more distance if that makes sense . Shed 7 - Maroon 5 . A real end to end encounter !

Therein lies the problem I think we all get sucked into thinking , well it worked before so why change anything mentality and forget the other 99% of the time when it doesn't. Shed 7 - Maroon 5 .

Yep, a relaxed lay up will go further than when you try to smash the ball into next week. Likewise a straight drive of 200 yards is better than 250 yards of hook/slice. Optimistic as ever
