Should I take up Golf?

Question

I just went to the driving range for the first time (went with a friend who plays). I rented 2 clubs. I think they were the iron and the one with a big number 1 on it.

Anyways, I hit the ball, with the bigger one, about 100+ feet. I think the farthest it went was near 150. With the club with the 9 on it I hit it about 75. Give or take some.

I think it's just beginners luck, and nothing compared to the other people there. But I really enjoyed it.

Should I take it up, like take lessons and everything? Will I ever use it? Is it worth it? Does it stay fun, or do you eventually get tired of it? How long will it take to get real good?

Thank you ahead for your answers!

Answer 1

Definitely YES.  Not only does it not get boring after a while, you'll probably want to play more as you get better.

Golf is a life long game and is the ONLY game you can play outdoor from youngster to the last day you can walk and swing a club.  You'll also meet a lot of different people when playing on a course.  If you are 13 now, and take up the game seriously, there's a good chance you might even be good enough to get a golf scholarship to the university of your choice.

How long will it take to get real good?  That depends on the time and effort you put in.  Golf does require a lot of practice, especially in the beginning to get good with the swing, but you can never be too 'good' because golf is a sport that you try to hit better than your last shot.  Even professionals like Tiger Woods mis-hit shots.

yes definatley take it up, last month i would of said that I never would play golf, but I learned from my friends and though I am not the best I am getting better each time I play. And the more you play the more you will want to continue to play so definatley start playing.

Answer 3

Golf can be a pastime which will last you a lifetime.Keep up the driving range and try to emulate the swings of the pros. Don't try to overpower the ball. Just learn to make solid contact. When you feel you are gaining some experience, take a lesson from a teaching pro and then take the game to the course with him. Get a set of used clubs which feel comfortable to you and give it a whirl.
