Hi, from North Manchester

09-13-2008, 10:24 PM

I'm completely new to golf, having been nagged by a mate who I holiday with (with both our families), so at the age of 40 I thought I'd give it a go.
I'm on a tight budget, so I've got hold of a set of clubs off ebay and intend to practice my swing with plastic airflow balls just to get a feel, then intend to hit the range, maybe get some tuition.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

hi
if just starting out then i would say to get a few lessons just to iron out any faults so your at least working on the right things.
one real tip is not to try and hit the ball to hard. work on a smooth swing. you will find you start hitting the ball longer if making contact with the sweet spot on the face of the club and you will do that more often by swinging smoothly.
best of luck.
