Tips for a newbie golfer?

[ShadowHM]

I've never played golf before, but I figure it's about time I had a hobby that gets me outside for a few hours per week.  Golf looks like it might be right up my alley.

Be patient. :)

Remember, it is the kind of game where you can get better as you grow older. One of my neighbours is 94 and still golfs. One day my husband asked him "Do you ever *get* it? Do you ever reach a point where you know exactly what you are doing and can make it happen every time?" His answer was: "Yes, but by then you have lost your distance."
