Taking an extra club and swinging at about 80% is usually one of the easiest ways to do this, rather than trying to time swings at top speed all the time. Accuracy is the key to improving your score and enjoying the game. Distance will come as the proficiency in proper technique improves. Always strive to focus more on accuracy rather than distance.Focus on the areas of your game you typically struggle with. Use this time to stretch and practice a little of each aspect of the game you expect to encounter on the course. Consistently arrive an hour before you tee off. It helps to make you feel like a part of the game, and the sense of belonging to the golf community is important as a beginner. Play with someone who can teach you a little bit about the etiquette and traditions of golf. Try to play with better players than you.The short game (100 yards and in) makes up 60% of the game, and it’s where most people lose or gain the majority of their strokes when trying to keep or improve their score. When you are ready to venture out onto the course, try to begin on a Par 3.Remember, in regard to flexibility: what you don't use, you lose. Start a consistent stretching routine. This will be helpful when learning the game, and it certainly won't hurt any other areas of your life either.You only really need 3 clubs to start: a putter, a wedge, and a 7 or 8 iron.

For golf, that process means learning to putt first, and then learning to chip and pitch, which will help new golfers transition to a full swing more smoothly, and also help them avoid bad habits.

As with learning all motor skills, you must crawl before you walk or run.

Supervised, intelligent instruction can help you avoid the pitfalls of learning the game on your own and creating bad habits that can take a lifetime to break. In many instances it can actually hurt you.

What makes you good at other sports doesn't necessarily help you in golf. If you never let go of the basics, you never have to go back for them! Golf is not a game that makes typical logical sense, nor one that you can figure out on your own because you played other sports well. Keeping the fundamentals in mind is of utmost importance. Mastering the fundamentals is a lifelong process in this game.

Take regular instruction from an experienced instructor. This should be someone who can communicate well, has been trained to teach, and can also play golf at a high level.
