What are the basics to golf??

Question

haha im not stupid i know you swing the club :P

Answer 1

watch the golf channel.

Answer 2

Hit the ball into the hole, with the least amount of strokes.

Different holes will have a different number of strokes allotted to it.

If you are "on par" your strokes match the allotted strokes for each hole.

You want to have a negative score. Negative scores are good.  

There are usually 18 holes (some people play less, but 18 is standard).

Do not hit the ball into ponds, the rough, or the sand traps.

Try and get the ball to stay on the green.

Use a driver for long strokes, and a putter for putting.

Golf is a long sport. And golf clubs are heavy. Use the golf cart.  

Answer 3

players hit a ball towards a hole marked by a flag on a grassy, sandy, and watery course and try and get the ball in in the fewest hits. after 18 different holes the person with the lowest score wins

Answer 6

this is advice coming from someone who doesnt play at all but who feels pretty confident based on what little his uncle taught him. first of all u always want to stand with ur kness slightly bent so that ur in a comfy position. when u swing the club u want to keep ur front arm perfectly straight (depends on if ur right or lefthanded) and u want to bend ur lagging arm. when u follow through u do not want ANY of ur lower body to move, this is the killer that ruins most beginners. ur shoulders should also remain stationary, only ur arms take care of the swing as u follow through.

the biggest advice in golf once u get past the basics is to learn to handle stress very well. golf is probably the absolute most taxing sport on ur mind. u have to train ur concentration very well and u have to be patient. its a sport that takes a long time to become acquainted with.

of course i dont play at all but one of my best friends does.

Answer 7

Don't try to kill the ball. Just hit it smoothly.

Do this first.

Answer 8

hit the ball with the club

Answer 9

The basics of golf start with alignment, stance, ball position, swing plane from static to back swing to impact and follow through to finish with the belly button facing the intended target. Do all of this with a trigger to get the swing started, employ  proper tempo and there you have the basics to golf.
