Looks like I am going to the driving range this Thursday. We have an odd range here, not just wacking the wee white little balls. The have made it game of target golf with electronic golf balls and a scoring system. It is called Top Golf. I am looking forward to it!

I love to golf!!!!!! I'm a newbie to it but i enjoy it so much!!!

When my Dad passed away i got his really good golf clubs, bag, all that stuff. I had never golfed before so i tried it. I instantly fell in love with it.

I don't go often anymore, but i miss it. I was actually not bad, not great, but not that bad.

I bought the balls with the pink ribbon for breast cancer on them and they are cute.

Driving the golf cart and packin peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the day is fun too!!!!!!

Hi sylvie. Here at the local community college they offer beginners golf lessons. Both my mom and younger sister took the class so they could join their hubbies on the course.

I certainly would encourage you and everyone to give it a try. Private instruction can be a bit pricey, but is well worth it to avoid starting out with bad habits. Most driving ranges and golf courses have a teaching pro on staff. They have all the clubs for you to use too so you don't have to buy before you get addicted!

There is a guy i work with that actually had private instruction and the pricing wasnt that bad.. i think maybe because he knew him, i will have to ask him some questions about that, because i would love to learn properly - and would love to learn prior to putting money into buying clubs, etc..

the whole thought is kind of exciting..
when i was young, i used to escape the homelife and go to the golf course, we lived in a small country community which had a school, a store and a golf course.. i would often sit and watch and follow golfers around for hours and found much peace there, actually.. and always wanted to learn..♥

thanks for the encouragement and advice!

You should keep it up, if just going to the range. It is great. Years ago when I played much better, I would go to the course by myself. Since I was a single golfer, I usually had to join a group of men to make a fore-some. You could see it in their eyes when I would walk up to join them....It was the "oh geeze, we have to play with a girl" look...
I normally played from the white tees, but in these instances, I would play from the red forward tees (sometimes referred to as the Ladies Tee).

After a couple of holes of them playing from everywhere but the fairway and me pretty much not in the woods, they would ask why I was playing from the red.... "Because," I would say, "These are the ladies tee."

Good for you!!!! I wish i had the "whatever" it takes to do something like that...play by myself. I guess i'm still so new and not sure which club to use for what that i am not that comfortable yet.

Honestly, i take offence to some of these bio male golfers who think they are helping out the "lost" girl and try and show me what i'm doing wrong. If i wanted help i would ask. Sorta pisses me off....actually more than sorta.

I at least need to go to a driving range. I could probably muster up enough self confidence to do that maybe.

It sure is a wonderful feeling to see that little ball fly through the air and actually head where it is suppose to be heading.

Thanks for the thread!!!!

Go for it! The driving range is the best place to find out which clubs to use for distance. Once you get comfy swinging and making contact with that wee white ball, I promise your confidence with grow!
As for the men out there, I just don't care to waste the time and energy on their ignorance. I just will not let them or anyone ruin my day
