The clubs are the metal sticks you’re swinging to hit the ball. Count every time you swing the club at the ball (which is called a stroke …with some of your hits you’ll feel like you’re having a stroke, but that’s not why it’s called that). Keeping score is also quite straightforward. You keep hitting the ball until you hit it on the green, which is the very smooth area of green grass with the flag on it sticking out of the hole or cup you need to put the ball in. Each hole has a place to tee off, which starts the hole and you will try to keep the ball on the fairway, which is mowed and level, and out of the rough, which is to the left and right of the fairway and more overgrown. The second big challenge is to hit it straight, not necessarily far, but straight. Believe it or not, your first challenge will be to actually hit the ball with the club in your hand. Hit the little white ball as few times as possible, ending with it in the hole on the pretty cut grass. The game itself is pretty straightforward.

Remember, your mental state has a lot to do with this activity, and a professional instructor will clearly teach you the basics and mechanics of golf, taking into account your body type and athletic abilities.

That does not mean your friend or your wife or husband, all of whom may play very well, but will have difficulty transferring what works for them to you. You will hear this philosophy of thought a lot the challenge is to do it.įirst, if you are going to try to play golf, I suggest you take one or two lessons from a professional golf instructor. Don’t over think it - relax, enjoy the quiet time, the outdoors, and the people you may be with. Even now my mind gets in the way of my game. How you feel that day, what’s on your mind, how you feel physically. I never did, either, because I did not understand that it was not about trying to beat him, it was about trying to beat me or my own last effort out on the course.

I started playing golf with my father in high school and tried very hard to beat him. This is a very popular activity for many seniors, yet there are many who have not tried it yet.
