Learning it takes time, patience, and a little humour (you’ll need it after your first ten whiffs). But it’s also one of the most rewarding, addictive, plain-fun games you’ll ever play — there’s nothing like a pure strike, a long putt dropping, or the day “draw” finally makes sense.
01 · WELCOME TO GOLF
Golf is your reward.
A few things to keep in mind
You don’t need to be good to start. Everyone’s bad at first — accept it, laugh, and keep going.
It’s all free. The internet is a goldmine of instruction; the best of it is curated here, in order, so you’re not overwhelmed or digging for hours.
Learn your way. Some people want step-by-step, technical instruction (directive). Others learn by feel and analogy. Both are here — find what clicks.
Your first goal isn’t 18 holes. It’s a Par 3 course — a fun, beginner-friendly round that gets you actually playing.
Golf is hard, and that’s fine.
Where to start.

Whether you’ve always wanted to try golf, your friends won’t stop pestering you, or you just need an excuse to be outside more — welcome. This is where to start.
