This is great advice. The good golf school will NOT teach you the grip or the swing etc. but WILL teach you how to be a good steward of the golf courses and how to enjoy the game without disturbing the enjoyment of others. Golf is one of the few games that one can play between people of widely different capabilities and yet all can have fun without disturbing the others' game. The main thing is to keep moving, don't search long for lost balls, pick up when you obviously are slowing play or when you have doubled par (six strokes on a par 3 hole for example). Take Golfingnut up on his offer, Lou is a good guy and I'm sure can help get you started. Good luck and enjoy!
