I'd never been on a golf course in my life, and took the New to Golf course at the Sarasota Practice facility. Like you, I was very intimidated about the whole golf mystique and taking this course was the best thing I could have done. The instructor Craig Griffin (make sure you ask for him) takes all the anxiety out of the process. My course group was only 5 people, of whom two were fellow women with whom I've played repeatedly since finishing the course, and we've all had a blast. We don't keep score and just get out there to have fun, improve our skills, and be supportive of each others' desire to get better. The course costs about $250 for the entire week and you get several discount benefits upon completion. Best money I spent and I'm enjoying the game immensely. Good luck to you.
