How to Become an Amateur Golfer

Golfing is a great sport. You'll need a few things to become a golfer and a good starting place. You can practice on driving ranges or take lessons from a professional instructor.

Things You'll Need

• Golf clubs
• Golfing groves
• Golf bag
• Tees
• Golf balls
• Hand Towel
• Golf shoes
• Pencil
• Score sheet

Instructions

1. Start your amateur golf career by taking a few lessons from a professional at a local golf course. You will learn how to hold the golf club, hit the ball and what club to use in different areas of the golf course.

2. Practice at the golf course driving range. The driving range is where you place the ball on a tee and practice hitting it. The more you practice, the more distance you will get from the ball. Many golfers spend hours at the driving range to better their hitting distance.

3. Practice on the putting range to get better at getting the ball into the cup. This might look easy, but it takes skill. You can practice at different inclines.

4. Golf on the course you were taught on until you are confident with your swing and distance. Try to golf at least once or twice a week or more if possible.

5. Golf on other courses when you are confident with your game. The more challenges you face and overcome, the better amateur golfer you will be.

Tips & Warnings

• Get a pair of golfing shoes and wear them around the yard for at least a week before going on the course.

• Don't play with sliced balls.

• Balls will get lost, so have enough.

• Try not to rip up the grass when hitting the ball.
