it is easier to learn good habits if you haven't developed bad habits already. With that in mind, I would encourage you to take a series of lessons right from the beginning. The Village based golf schools are good. You might want to explore off campus venues as well. Women sometimes prefer a female coach. If that describes you, consider Sandra Chester at the Continental Country club off Route 44 ((352) 751-5122). Steve Wresh who teaches there is also pretty good.

When you get out on the course, don't worry about getting good hits all the time. Every time I think I am going to have a good round, my evil twin shows up to dish me a big serving of humble pie.

So relax and enjoy being outdoors in the sunshine.
