If your a beginner, then you will definetly need a glove for your offhand. (if your a righty, your left hand, if your a lefty your right hand) This will keep you from getting blisters. I reccomend going to the driving range and practicing before you go to an actual golf course. Try to aim for certain things they have their, (flags, boats etc.)

TWO ANSWERS AND NOTHING WORTH A CRAP… GO TO THE DRIVING RANGE WAS THE BEST TIP SO FAR… I WOULD SAY GO TO THE LIBRARY AND GET BOOKS ON THE GAME(FEMALE AVITAR) NANCY LOPEZ HAS SOME GOOD BOOKS OUT… READ ABOUT THE BEGINNING GOLF SWING AND TRY IT AT HOME, WITH OR WITHOUT A CLUB IN HAND… PROGRESS UNTIL YOU FEEL YOU COULD HIT A BALL… THEN GO TO THE RANGE, SWING SLOWLY UNTIL YOU CAN HIT THE BALL STRAIGHT, THEN WORK ON DISTANCE… DON’T PUSH IT, THIS IS A TOUGH GAME TO LEARN, TAKE YOUR TIME AND MOST OF ALL HAVE FUN…

Wetbread has the best answer. Get a pro, and buy 20 to 25 lessons over a 6 month period, and have your first two lessons on how to grip and swing a club, and lessons 3 - 7 just short game. Because you will develop your swing, starting with the sand wedge, chipper and pitching wedge. The next 15 or so lessons will be spent on the range expanding your knowledge of the swing. Be sure to have an instructor who uses V1 software, records your swing, and records the analysis for you to take home on a VHS tape. Be sure the guy teaching you has won some pro events so he has credibility. Don’t even dare walking on a course until your lessons are over. Also, don’t ever just go the driving range to hit balls. That is the biggest waste of time ever, and all it will do is reinforce the negative. My next suggestion is to also buy the V1 software home edition, load it on your laptop, and bring your laptop and camera to the range, and record you swing, and after each swing, do a self analysis. you will only need to buy a very small bucket to get that ball to fly. Don’t be like all of the other idiots who just hit balls at the range and reinforce the negative, and probably hurt their back while they are at it, because they probably have poor posture. If you have good posture, you can hit golf balls all day, and never feel a thing. Therefore, in conjuction with your lessons, go to the gym, and do golf specific exercises. You may want to take one of your lessons to have the teacher show you exercises to do in the gym. Also, don’t be afraid to bring your own camera to the lessons and record it too, in addition to the instructors comments that are recorded on the VHS tape. Good luck.
