I need hellp understanding golf-please help?

Question

I just recently started to putt around with my parent's golf clubs and started to get interested in the sport. So my mom said she would sign me up for golf lessons which I'm excited for. But the one problem is I don't know really anything about this sport. Any advice,tips, or definitions of golf terms?

Thanks

Answer 1

Take the lessons,the rest will come.

The golf course may seem a fa-off-in-the-future place, where you will not set foot for a long time. But it is helpful to understand the layout of the course to understand what you must learn. When I teach I like to put the pieces of the puzzle together as promptly as possible. Understanding the golf course allows you a look at the big picture, so you can figure out where to put the pieces.

A regulation golf course consists of 18 holes. There are generally three lengths of holes: par 3s, par 4s, and par 5s. The length or yardage of the hole, which will be listed on your scorecard, determines the par. The length or yardage of the hole, which will be listed on your scorecard, determines the par. For our purposes, a par 3 is a short hole, a par 4 is a medium-length hole, and a par 5 is a longer-length hole, which can often look like an eternity to a new golfer.

I remember playing a par 5 at Frenchman's Creek and burying my tee shot into a cork tree. After wedging the golf ball from out of the trunk, not being happy, with my playing partner laughing at me, I remeber looking up and realizing that I had over 400 more yards to travel. This felt like a five-mile-long par 5 at this point.

Answer 5

Take the lessons. After a few, go out to the course with your parents and play a round with them. I am sure they will be happy to explain golf and terms while you are playing.

I started a year ago and I am still learning terms and how to play. No two games are going to be the same. No two people are going to hit the same.

Answer 6

well if u take the lessons, they ususally explain the terms and the proper rules when u r on the golf course. once u start learning and getting used to the sport it all comes naturally.

Answer 7

I was in your position couple months ago.

I'll give you 5 grateful helping tips.

1. TAKE YOUR TIME!!- I always rush so this was a big one for me aim look stare. Do what you can to relax.

2. Dont death grip.- This will REALLY mess up your swing.

3. Remember, when your using your driver swing lady like try to swing as lightly as you can.

4. Hitting the ball harder wont make it go farther,

5. Plant your feet so if you hit it it would go where you want it *Mostly for putting,

Have fun!!

Answer 8

the basic point of the game is to get the ball in the hole in the least amount of strokes (tries) and its based on patience
