Looking for a new hobby I can do with friends.

I haven't really played before (except in like a low stress “scramble” for charity events but that’s about it). Don’t know anything about golf. My goal is basically to be comfortable on the golf course and not be embarrassingly bad.

I’m assuming just pay for some pro lessons at my local golf course?

I started pretty recently.

Best way is to take lessons, seek out low stakes spots like pitchandputt, par 3 / exec courses.

Play these for a bit and you'll be better than most if you're not retarded. Worst case you'll know how not to embarrass yourself which is all that's really needed.

absolutely take lessons, then spend as much time as you can possibly manage chipping and putting, they matter so much more than anything else once you can get the ball of the ground reliably

This is not true at all BTW. Maybe at the beginning stage it’s somewhat true, but huge diminishing returns on practicing your short game (as opposed to tee to green) once you hit the intermediate stage and beyond.

Actually I’m not wrong at all. Average bogey golfer averages 36 putts per round and scratch averages 32, yet they’re 18 shots better on average. Hitting more GIR and avoiding penalties are the two main drivers for lower scores.

I am saying that literally any retarded person can put the ball on the green then putt 2-3 times into the hole.

You need to know how to drive the ball then hit said ball 150+ towards the green. Everything else is comparatively easy unless you're working towards a sub-bogey handicap. Obviously OP is not there yet.

If you can't putt/chip you can't score well. If you can't drive or hit an iron from time to time, you literally can't play gold.

Look, I have not been misled by anyone.

I am telling you how things are as a new player of golf. I posted the recent thread about getting an 88 on my first ever round playing 18 holes (you probably posted in that thread, and full disclosure my best score since then is +11 over nine). I'll be playing either dyker beach or a long island course this weekend and will update the board.

As a beginner, being able to get the ball in play off the tee is way, way more important (both to your fun had in general and your overall score) than putting 2x vs 3x per hole.

Brother I have lied about literally everything on here except in my golf and lacrosse threads. I have truthfully documented on here how bad I am at golf.

Again, OP isn't trying to reduce his score to a certain number. He is trying to play golf to have fun.

It's way more fun to be able to hit a straight drive 200+ yards then knock it towards the green than it is to chip and putt well when you're already ten shots in, which is what happens to most beginners who can't get off the tee.

Short game allows you to score well, but you literally cannot play the game unless you can get off the tee.

I said you should take lessons and then focus on the short game, I never said you shouldn't know how to hit the ball, but the critical point is you will suck with your irons for many many years no matter what you do and a 10 year old child can drive it 200

A ten year old can toe down chip then hit a ten foot putt too, and one mistake costs far more than the other.

Same way a 30 yard chip is always better than a 130 yard shot, no matter how "dialed in" your wedges are.

That is what I'm saying.

A beginner won't go from 130 to ~90 (a fun, good non-golfer score) by improving their putting, when pros also suck from ten feet. They'll do it by keeping the ball in play off the tee.

no, they will do it from 50 yards and in, where most of their shots will take place

The only argument would be that a passable short game is somewhat low hanging fruit for a beginner, compared to the long game that takes a lot more work, but agree that the typical advice to focus on short game is flame for most cases.

my take on this is that ideally you should practice the shit out of chips, pitches, and partial wedge shots not only because it saves strokes around the green but also because it helps in to learning how to properly strike the ball

that too, most guys start out on the range with a wedge for this reason, you can feel your contact and what is going on much better

yeah this was what earl woods said in his book “training a tiger” iirc.

that building from the short game up brings confidence and overall skill eventually. less frustrating, often rewarding even at early stages etc

he was talking about teaching kids but also applies to olds learning on they’re own

Agreed. If I was PGA pro level from within 30 yards of the hole I'd probably go from a 13 handicap to a 2. Even a scratch golfer short game would save me 5 or 6 shots a round.

tbh just pick something else. big golfmo and generally love it but i started as a kid and i was always decent at it. don’t get why anyone would want to start as an old and just suck unless they have nothing else they could possibly spend they’re time on.

Recreational golf doesn't lead to those same injuries. Especially not when compared to the other more athletic options: basketball, skiing, tennis, contact sports like lacrosse or hockey. Jogging is probably more dangerous than golf.

yeah. golf is weird in that in can be played by unathletic olds but swinging with a relatively high swing speed isn’t easy at all.

didnt hit a ball and also didn’t lift or run at all for 14 or 15 months at one point in my 20s. hitting a bunch of drivers when i got back into was bizarrely tiring when i got back into it. the other two things it was like i barely took a break

Men should not get into golf until:

(1) They have a long-established routine of doing real exercise (nearly) every day.

(2) They are already putting sufficient time and efforts into their existing family and friend relationships.

(3) They spend enough time with their spouse that she's not bitter about not spending enough time with you. (Or she just doesn't give a fuck, even better).

(4) They are professionally (reasonably) successful (or independently wealthy).

And they should only continue playing golf on the condition that none of the foregoing are materially adversely affected. by such playing of golf.
