I don't know if you've played golf before, but for someone who has never played before, the beginning is very frustrating. Like I remember my first when I can't even touch that stationary ball - 'swing and a miss' - felt like playing baseball. :) Short iron swings are more exciting as in you hit the ball more often, as opposed to swinging long irons and the almighty driver.

And buy gloves, blisters are sure to be on your hands at first.

But other aspects of the game require more finesse and a lot more fun - how to blast out of a bunker, pitching in, putting, etc. You'll enjoy at the end. I love the game, so I say go for the lessons.

All this talk of golf makes me want to hit a driving range. Do you know of a range in Sg, and can I rent clubs?
