First off, let me say that I will not be playing with you ladies. However, I believe that you will do yourself and others a great service if you take lessons before you go out and try to play golf. My wife and I never picked up a club before we moved here and never planned to either. After we saw everyone out having fun and socializing, we decided to give it a shot. We took a lesson or two, bought a relatively inexpensive set of clubs and continued to take lessons. We took lessons for about 2 or 3 months before we ever went out to play. My wife was still too self conscious to try, so she still took lessons and we went to the driving range several times a week. We are still taking lessons, but we are also getting out and playing. My wife is way better than most people that have only been laying for a year and a half and I believe that is because of the lessons and going to the driving range. We are now playing 2-3 times a week.
