new to the Lounge and just saw this thread. Forgive my bringing it back up.
Alot of the advice was quite good. If I might second 2 things:
1) Take lessons. trust me, its worth doing.
2) Gravity IS stronger over water. (Also tends to have a sideward affect towards hazards and OB areas.)
Lastly, a very good friend of mine is an accomplished golfer. I blame (credit?) him with introducing me to the game. I am an intensely competitive perosn and expect alot from myself. One of early outings, I was doing particularly poorly and tossed one of my clubs into the drink after hitting my 3rd straight shot into the water with the blasted thing. (Hey, I figured it HAD to be a defective club. Right? lol) Anyway, my buddy came over to me, smiling like a goonie bird, and said, "Jim, you are not a good enough golfer yet, to get THAT angry over a bad shot." Bar none, single best thought for a beginner to keep in their head while playing the game.
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do I park my car in the driveway, then drive on the parkway?
