Learning the game of golf. Swing basics, course etiquette, affordable equipment, and breaking 100. A frustrating, wonderful game.

You dont need a $1000 set to learn. A used half-set or a beginner box set gets you on the course. Upgrade later.

This is going straight into my notes. Already learned three new things today.

Printing this out and putting it on my desk. Such helpful info!

Warning to others: I tried a shortcut and it did NOT end well. Follow the instructions exactly.
Dave Modem   Course etiquette every beginner needs Jan 14, 2026 8:59 pm
Keep up the pace, repair your divots, rake the bunkers, and stay quiet during others swings. Etiquette makes you welcome anywhere.

Tried this last weekend and the whole family was impressed. Big thanks!
Charlie Reeves   Breaking 100 for the first time Nov 6, 2025 8:59 pm
Course management beats heroics. Play safe, avoid the big number, and putt well. Smart golf breaks 100, not perfect golf.

I am bookmarking, printing, AND saving this to a floppy. Too good to lose.

Just shared this thread with my friend who has the same question. Great resource!

I was skeptical at first but you convinced me. Going to give it a shot this week.

Avtoservis_inei   The swing basics that actually help Oct 12, 2025 5:59 am
Grip, stance, and tempo. Forget the hundred tips - master the fundamentals first. A smooth tempo beats a hard swing.

Tried three different approaches before this one worked. Persistence pays off.

Wow this thread blew up overnight. So many great responses!

My setup is slightly different but I adapted this advice and it worked great.

Dave Modem   Cheap ways to practice Sep 14, 2025 4:59 pm
The driving range, a putting mat at home, and chipping in the backyard. Regular short practice beats rare long sessions.
