So I've always wanted to give golf a try- but I know mostly nothing about the sport. I'm wanting to get a driver to start out, but I don't even know where to begin choosing one. I'm not wanting to spend a load on one as this will be my first attempt. Also, if you know of any websites that give a good tutorial on golf and how to grip the club/swing it, please let me know. Thanks-
Here's a little bit of wisdom:Drive for show, Putt for dough!Don't worry about getting a big ol' fancy driver... Get yourself a decent set of clubs, typically a 1-3-5 Wood and 3 - PW irons. Once you practice at the driving range a LOT and play some rounds, then worry about getting a big ol' driver!Schro can chime in because I think he's the SBG Golf Pro...
Golf wisdome......... Ok I got it,, just ignore the big truck driving buy the course and blasting the air horn just as you take your swing becausr that would be me.

I was reading up about clubs some- so wood drivers are less precise than irons? They also mentioned composite drivers as being an in-between? I think I'm going to hold off on getting a whole set of clubs till I get my drive down. Quote from: The Original Canadian HeadBlader! on February 02, 2007, 05:47:19 PMGolf wisdome.........

That's cool, just look out for the ball coming at your windshield. I can see it now, I'll be the only guy hitting balls backwards, away from the range.
