Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 3591867, member: 34"] One other thing I would have a new golfer do as they start playing..... Have them learn to hit a club 150 yards. Probably a 6 or 7 iron or a hybrid. Hit that off the tee and get the ball in play. Hit the second shot with same club. That gets you wihin 100 yards of the hole. Hit a chip up around green and two-putt. Take your 5 or maybe a 6 but learn about getting ball in play off the tee. Learn to hit your second shot towards the pin. Learn a partial shot. And then you putt. Eventually get better and learn to hit 175 off the tee and 150-175 on second shot. That gives you a shorter chip/pitch towards the green. Probably much more enjoyable than topping tee shots 20 yards with a big driver or hooking or slicing in to deep rough, under trees, into hazards or OB. Learn how to get ball in play and progress towards the hole with every shot. [/QUOTE]
