Get lessons: Golf looks simple, and in many ways it is. Get the ball from the hole to the cup in as many swings as possible. In other ways, it is really very complicated. The value of at least a few lessons cannot be overemphasized. Ante up for at least half a dozen lessons with a local golf pro. It will force you to take your golf swing seriously and probably teach you a few things you wouldn t have otherwise thought of.
