In Need of Some Golf Wisdom
spaceape48:
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- O0

Our resident golf veteran is Schro....and as soon as he sees the word "golf" after logging in he'll be all over it.
I would say that for just startin' out, just make sure you find the right length of clubs without skimping TOO much on quality.
My uncle gave me his set of clubs that just happened to be about the right size and have worked fine...never replaced any of them, or added any...including the driver.
Check with a golf pro shop or Sports Authority and talk to a salesperson/instructor that's passionate about the game (as opposed to passionate about selling you something).
Also...without a doubt....the best video/dvd I've EVER watched that helped my game the most is called
"The Little Green Video" by Harvey Pennick.
I talk about it in this thread:

The whole thread is good...
BaldRob:
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...
