I hope I'm not too late. Yes, I would like your bag if you still have it.

In case you don't get a response on this thread, just press on their 'name' from their post and send them a PM (private message).

PLEASE!!! Before you "TRY" golfing, get some lessons from a PGA professional. Too many people in The Villages think they can just go out on a golf course and start playing.

You need to, at least, spend some time at a range trying to hit the ball.

You also should read up on golf etiquette, care of the course and pace of play. These points may be even more important that hitting the ball.

I hate to tell you, but, your destined not to like the great game of golf. You probably live in a nice house, with nice car, yet don't want to spend the money for a decent of clubs. Old clubs are just that. OLD! :pray::pray::pray:
Not even close to be fit for you and your size. Golf is a difficult game, 14 clubs and different ways to use each. You are not prepared to know how great the game of golf is. Good Luck!
Low handicap and former golf teacher,

There’s one sitting on the side of the cart path that leads from Brownwood down to the first little bridge.

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'm pretty sure he was just asking about getting a GOLF BAG!!! But yes....thanks for sharing....:rolleyes:

We have a brand new, still in wrapper, unused Bloom golf bag that came with a set of clubs a week ago. My wife wanted to keep her old bag (bought as a birthday gift by our daughter). So the new bag is on sale - $95.00 OR BEST OFFER. It needs to find a new home. I'm in the Village of Palo Alto - call Jeff at 979-703-0669.

Hospice thrift store next to tax office on 441 across from Walmart or Centsibles on 441 north of 42 about 1 mile or maybe 2.

I hope I'm wrong in this case, but it's been my personal experience that when a brand new player (particularly those who haven't taken lessons or practiced a lot) get on a real course, they are often likely to be the type who spend a lot of time looking for 'free' balls in penalty areas (ball-hawking) - and slowing up play for those behind. PLEASE don't be one of THOSE golfers.

Thanks for the Advice
 
A sincere thank you to the people who offered real advice. I was surprised by how many of you think that you know me (or what I will be like on the golf course) without ever meeting me or knowing anything about me. I do plan on taking lessons and practicing. Everyone is new at something at some point. To keep people interested in a sport, others need to be supportive, not judgmental and demeaning. A member on this forum offered me one of his golf bags. I appreciate his kindness. Perhaps some others from "America's Friendliest Hometown" could learn a lesson from him. Let's all remember the Golden Rule.

Well said, I’ll play with you anytime.
