The easiest way to learn golf basics is to practice as much as possible. It’s also important to be realistic; for most of us it takes a while before we are scoring in the 80s. To begin with, you’ll only need a few clubs, and becoming comfortable with using them is important before carrying the 14 clubs allowed. Focus on your swing; it’s probably the single most important aspect of the game. A good swing forms the basis of consistency and the potential for a lower score; it can be difficult to change a bad swing after getting used to it. Think about having a few lessons to get you started, and start out on the practice ground before playing on the actual course. And don’t forget to practice those chip shots and putting, both of which are a big part of the game.
