golf swing

artlogical asked:

I’m starting as a beginner in golf. I’m now in my 30’s, and this good summer weather is making me think of getting involved in something physical, but not too strenuous. So, I went to the driving range for the first time in forever yesterday. I practiced my swing with a driver, and with time, started to get good, straight drives in. Now I have to look for advice that will make my swing and an eventual 9-hole game “good enough”.

Of course there a lots of websites out there, and I’ve already investigated many. I’ve also started shopping on-line and in stores for a beginner’s gold club set (complete) that can get me by for a couple years while I improve my game.

So do you all have any advice, tips, or references on playing the game and selecting equipment for an adult beginner golfer?
P.S. - I do have a friend who is quite good and experienced teaching me on the range. So please, no answers worth 2 points that read “take lessons” unless you are specific with directions on where or who from to find good lessons from.

      It is best to have a professional club fitter help you with clubs. But, AMF is trying to get into golf and has fantastic value and quality. I give remote lessons with a camera if you want to try.
