I want to learn to play golf.
I get quite a few new golfers who are just taking up the game. There are lots of ways to start and there are lots of questions to be answered. I will give a few tips about what you might want to do and you can feel free to ask other questions that I have not addressed.

The clinics and group lessons that I offer are for all skill levels. Eventhough I have started some beginners in the Saturday large group clinic, it is more difficult for the new golfer since I get very little time with each participant.
