Hello from Dover, DE

Scorp6 · June 4, 2015

Hey everyone! I have been interested in golf for several years but never had the money to really get into it. The last year or so I have been really itching to start and I am finally doing just that. My wife and I decided to try to start together and we are very excited!

I will start with equipment. I've decided on the top flite xl 13 piece starter set. I have read some stuff on here about building your own set of used and looked a little at clones but I just don't really know what I should be looking for so I decided on the set. I don't have much time to play so I am ok with the starters for a bit.

Next, I want to get a lesson or two so I don't teach myself bad swing habits when I start. Good idea, bad idea? I played a tournament once the I was sponsored for through the military as it was on Dover Air Force Base. I was horrible and had a blast. Luckily, it was a best ball tournament and the guys I played with were awesome. They used my ball once on a putt! Haha

Anyway, I look forward to conversations on here as I begin my journey. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the best golf site. Lots of good information here and good people willing to assist.

For sure get lessons as you start the game. I'd also suggest spending more time practicing what you were taught than playing even though it's not near as much fun. You want to get a solid foundation and start with good technique rather than trying to change bad technique.
