Take lessons and rent some clubs.

First either borrow another friends clubs and play a little par-3 course, then if you are still interested, you could go to buy just a few clubs like a driver, putter, and a few irons. However, it would be extremely wise of you to invest in some lessons so you don’t learn some wrong habits. I Love the game of Golf an i hope you enjoy it. Remember, the most expensive clubs are not necessarily for you try the ones that fit you

I am middle aged and I just started last year.

I took 4 lessons along with a friend from a local pro. He provided the clubs for the lessons. After the 3rd lesson, I deceided I liked it and found a starter set of clubs. You can also get used clubs at a golf store if you don’t want to invest a lot in case you like it.

Also, some municipal courses offer group lessons. I am not sure about them providing the clubs though. Check them out in your area.

Golf can be among the most exciting and rewarding games you’ll ever play. Regrettably, it’s not the most at ease game and can deter many beginners from sticking with it long adequate to master its challenges.

Golf extends a player the chance to compete with a distinguished rival, yourself. Anyone who has played golf realizes that your game cannot advance if you cannot accept your personal weaknesses and handicaps. But in that lays the joy that only a true golfer can interpret: mastering the obstructions and improving the golf game. Some would go as far to say capturing that course is unparalleled to any other challenge.

Apart from the mental dispute of the game picking up a golf club asks you to perform an exceedingly difficult act over and over again.

if u want clubs go to flea markets and yard sales. get clubs as cheap as $1-20 bucks. now u can get old or new iron cause they never change… ever. now the woods can be wood, don’t buy. get the iron or stainless steel ones. then you can find a bag for 6 bucks to get u started. well look on line for how to hold the golf club and swing to get u started. i would say go to the driving range first and just hit a few. then if you really like it buy a cheap set and get lessons you can find a set of clubs for as little as 80 bucks if you search hard enough. golf is a fun sport when you are good its just when ur not its more of a chore. good luck!

Take some lessons from certified professional at your local driving range (most offer). If it’s still something that you feel that you’ll be interested in, invest in clubs. I slowly built up my set and it cost me under $400 once it was all said and done. Not brand name clubs (I only have a 3-iron Calloway), but I’m comfortable with them and that’s all that really matters.

Your on the right road…it is within your heart to want to play.

You have my support and my best wished towards the enjoyment of this gr8 game.

For you, I would seek wisdom in a local golf fitter…there is no use in renting clubs that is there just to rent to play…no different that going to bowl, and using the house ball just to bowl w/rental shoes…

Once you have the bug, your world will turn for you, and you will have such a fantastic journey.

Once you have something to play with, you can try to mimick others at the golf range, and start swimming on your own…

There is many information online to offer help in basic swings…try it, and put it into use…keep it simple, and this includes the proper way to play with others.

I bought a set of irons from a used sports equipment store for 20 bucks and then hit the cheapest course i could find. It was a city course and i snuck on about 30 times until i was decent.

Take lessons first. Borrow clubs from your friends or rent some. After awhile, if you still like to play, buy some clubs of your own.
