My first set of clubs my Dad bought at a Goodwill thrift store for a song, a complete set of women's Macgregor Tourney blades, and wooden woods (diver, 3W, 5W), 3i-SW). There was a small pasture out back of the house I used as my range. I mowed it with the small tractor we had, then used a push mower to clean up my hitting line and 10yd wide circles to simulate greens at 75, 100, 150 yards. Hitting from the left or right side of the hitting line increased the distance to my "greens" by 20 yards. Hitting driver caused my to go through a barbed wire fence into a "raw" pasture, populated with cattle often and some brush here and there. That is where I learned to hit recovery shots off of all manner of lies. My teacher was my Dad. He had a Fred Couples type swing, effortless and maintained a handicap in single digits. Some of my favorite memories were with Dad, hitting balls at sunset. I was 14 when Dad let me play my first round at a golf course. I shot 91 with three lost balls.

Best golf tip Dad ever gave me? Know the distance of every iron with a half swing. That single tip gave me a whole different set of tools, effortlessly. Second best tip? Never try a hero shot, just hit something that finds the short grass. I'm 65 now. It is a great game. Enjoy it with friends and family.

Number 1 beginner tip: You’re swinging too hard.🤘

[Nitroxme]

You can also set up your tee two club lengths behind the markers. Knowing this is especially helpful on chewed-up tee boxes.

[actionmanson]

Been to driving range 3 times now. Really enjoy it. Can see improvements already from the 1st visit. Im happy just being able to hit ball cleen at the moment 😅

[leethornley]

Im 40 lost the use of my dominant arm in an accident and decided to take up golf 🤣🤣🤣. I have a cheap cheap set of clubs and a sense of humour. This is going to be fun. Thanks for the tips

[johnklein]

Understand you don’t have to try and hit your next shot as far as possible. If you have 300 yards to the hole and obviously cannot reach, split it up into two 150 yard shots with less chance of shanking one into the forest.

[dukeesq]

Nice putting! 😆Well done with your tips, Matt, cheers!

[SolomonLi]

Great tips bruh!!! I wished I knew these things when I started. The handicap thing helped me consider the areas of my game to get better…and it also helps me be kinder to myself. LOL

Don't cheap out when buying a pair of golf shoes.

Your feet are important, and you're going to walk a lot of miles.

A £20 pair from a sports shop will cause you more pain than you could imagine.

Great video! I would also add that you don’t need to play pro v1’s or the most premium golf balls. Pick a golf ball which will better suit your swing speed 👍🏌️‍♂️

[stephenbateman]

I recommend joining a league. Golf is a social game and it’s a great way to meet new people, play different formats, and you can pick tips up from watching various people play

[ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

Thought they now allow (as of 2020) clubs to be grounded in bunkers (just not directly in front or behind the ball), and allow drops from shoulder height (rather than knee height)?

Literally played at Boringdon this morning and then click this video and see that amazing par 3 with the water around 😂

[ludgatecircus]

1. Spend a half hour at the range for every hour on the course. 2. Do not over swing. 3. Do not come up short on putts. 4. Concentrate on developing three ultra reliable clubs and learn how to control distance for each of them. You should not rely on them over the long run, but those reliable clubs will make the game more enjoyable. until you can depend on all 14 clubs. 5. Follow the rules, in particular the rule that affect other groups ahead or behind you. Playing through, divot repair, limited noise, etc. are important issues.

[hegwah]

Don't bother clicking your fingers 🤌🏻 after you have hit a shot as it does not slow the ball down 😂😂😂😂😂

[alestev]

3:15 to 3:55: 👍👍👍👍👍👍 THE biggest difference between people who play slowly and people who don't.
And while we're at it: When the path to the next tee goes sideways at about 100 yards short of the green of the hole you are currently on, DON'T leave your bag or trolley or cart at that distance in the freaking middle of the fairway, especially on par 5s. Please leave it to the side you have to continue later anyway.

Looked like you may have dropped the wrong side of the staked tree, Coach 😊

[genesquires]

Since when do u get relief from trees? I thought it was only temporary or man made obstacles🧐

[tompem]

The beginners that I see, especially adults, fail to get to concept of taking a divot. They fat it, and the ground then becomes their enemy. They start a futile career of trying to pick it.

He didn't learn not to put your golf gear on the tee box !
