[GuyWin]

We are Guy and Winnie from Boca Raton, Florida. We are already putting money down on a golf course lot in Pennecamp and will start building a Designer home on it by the end of December. We will permanently retire in TV by July of next year.

We are not golfers but want to learn to play. Last month we were at TV for a week. We went to the new driving range near Walmart and hit some balls. Very discouraging! We usually either missed the ball completely or sliced it.

We're trying to get some idea of the time and expense involved to get to the point were we know what we're doing and skilled enough to actually hit the ball when we swing (and it goes in the general direction we are aiming for).

How long do we need to take golf lessons? Group or private? How much will it cost? How much for the equipment?
