Here is what you should do. Go to the Villages Golf School, or one at Continental Country Club, or the driving range behind 466 Walmart. Sign up for group lessons, they're cheaper as a class rather than one-on-one.

Then after about 5 of those lessons, go to the driving range and hit balls for at least a month. Then try your hand at an executive golf course. If you go out there now without any type of training with the attitude you might not like it, I guarantee you won't like it.

I started at age 12 in 1962, I took one lesson and then went to a driving range for about 6 months and then to a par 3 executive style course for a year and played all day every Saturday and finally what you would call, a championship course. It's a sport that will take a lot of time and patience to get good.

Ten years ago after just moving here, my neighbor took 5 lessons one-on-one and asked if I would go with him to an executive course. He did not practice at the driving range, only took the lessons. We played Bogart, I think I shot something like 29 and he shot 46, he never asked to play golf again.

I disagree. . Being tied up in lessons and putting practice will get boring. You can practice n take lessons but dont limit yourself to that. Get out on the greens and enjoy the game regularly
