Golf Lessons

I signed up for golf classes in June. I've always wanted to take golf lessons, and this was my opportunity - even though they began right before my dance recital.

They were offered through our local YMCA where I teach classes. The cost was cheap, and the lesson offered were group lessons. I had fun, but didn't know WHAT I WAS DOING! I was the only beginner, and the game is so much more complicated than I had imagined.

I followed up my group lessons with 4 semi-private lessons. They were even BETTER. Our teacher was excellent, and he really helped me improve. The cost was decent, and he was patient and helpful.

Last night I received a private lesson, because my co-partner couldn't make our last class. It helped me improve my game quite a bit.

Here's the problem. I haven't played a game of golf yet. Is all I do is go practice my swing at the driving range, go practice putts, and practice my short game.

Now that I'm more comfortable, I think I'll now go PLAY a game of golf. I have someone who's offered to go with me. I now know why so many people get addicted to it. In order to get really good at golf, you have to practice ALL THE TIME. I've decided I'm not at that stage of life yet...

so for now I'll just putter around.



Arrowhead Golf Course - where I practice, and soon will play a round of golf!

I've always wanted to learn how to golf! Just think, if we lived close, we could learn together and play together. What fun that would be.

I love that you are learning. Before my dad got sick he was teaching me to play as well. It is really hard to get. If I am ever up your way or you are down my way we can play a short round together.

Hey, that's the course I got hit with a golf ball because some jerk didn't yell FORE! Anyway, I smile because no one else in the family really wanted to learn golf. Now we can go to a round in the future!
