ive never played on an actually golf course however i do go to the driving range alot and is there any advantage being a lefty
sorry i should have mentioned its all paid for and all i have to bring is my clubs and mybody and thats it
Great question. Back in the dark ages, when I first took up golf, I spent an entire year at the driving range, and then a couple months at a local par 3 course, before setting foot on a regulation 18 hole golf course. However, I don’t recommend that for everyone
Look, just relax, and enjoy yourself. Ask ahead of time if there is a dress code. Make sure you are equipped not only with clubs, but with the proper golf shoes with correct spikes.
And finally, the rules of golf have become way, way, way too complicated. One of my oldest mentors used to caddie back before golf was on television, and he said something that has always stuck with me. He said that back then, people used to play golf based upon the standard of being someone who is and wants to do the right thing. If it seemed like the right and fair thing to do, then that was the test. Today, the Rules of Golf read like an insurance manual, and the Decisions on the Rules of Golf are worse. Just treat people in a manner in which you would want to be treated. Respect others, yourself and very important, respect the golf course itself, and you will be fine. Enjoy.

Correcting a golf slice on course is not easy since the pressure of hitting the fairway or the green is too great to enable you to relax and work it out. The practice range is the best place to correct your slice since you can try out several small adjustments till you get it just right.
Most golfers slice the ball sometimes, and when it happens you shouldn’t panic. Just keep in mind what causes it and you should be able to resolve it, given time.
If you start to slice during a round you can get by through a slight adjustment, such as strengthening your grip by holding the club slightly more clockwise than normal. This will do temporarily, and if this doesn’t work, try aiming further left.
Sometimes you Have to Break the Rules
“What? You’re not supposed to do that!”, I can hear you yell. But hold on just a minute. This is emergency time. You are in the middle of a round with no time to practice and you have just tried a stronger grip without success.
“Needs must when the devil drives” or so they say, and a very appropriate saying that is. It means do what is necessary to solve the problem, no matter how wrong it seems.
After your round, correct your slice properly on the practice range. Check your stance. It should be as wide as your shoulders, but feel comfortable. Your shoulders themselves should be lined up towards the target as should your hands. You grip is important in ensuring that you don’t slice. The back of your left hand should point at the target with the back of the right hand in the opposite direction.
Practice and Adjust – Then Practice Again
Play a few practice shots and if you are still slicing adjust your grip slightly around the club. When you are hitting the ball either the club face has not quite turned enough to be square to the ball, or it is square and you are hitting across the ball. The adjustments you make to correct the slice are designed to resolve either of these two problems.
Hence, if you grip the club slightly more clockwise than normal, you will turn the club face round to the left slightly so that it is squarer to the ball when you hit it. Adjusting your stance simple by moving your feet more in the direction of the target should stop you from hitting across the ball.
Watch Your Shoulders
Another problem that can cause you to swing across the ball is lifting your left shoulder during the swing This will pull your swing across the ball, as would rotating your chest past the ball before you hit it. These are all problems that you can work at on the practice range. There is little you can do about such faults during your round.
If you can visualize what is happening when you slice the ball you will recognize the two situations whereby the club face can impart clockwise spin on ball, and the various faults in your grip, stance and swing mechanics that can create these situations.
Correcting a golf slice is simply a matter of correcting these faults, and this is best done on the driving range where you can test a number of adjustments to your stance, grip and swing.

This is the golf swing training club with a gyroscope built into the head that keeps the clubface on-plane, encouraging proper technique during your backswing, downswing, and release. Rick Smith, a leading swing coach for PGA Tour Major Champions, said “it’s the only product that lets golfers feel what it’s like to have a technically correct swing.” The 20,000 rpm gyroscope’s brass flywheel is aligned with the club face, actively resisting any motion that takes it out of plane with your body as you make the motion of striking a ball. The club encourages smooth takeaways and proper wrist alignment during backswings and helps you to drop your hands and club into the slot during downswings. It facilitates the hands reaching the impact point before the club head, squaring the club face with the ball, for smooth releases. The shaft is 32″ from the end of the handle to the head. Specify Left- or Right-handedclub. Requires six rechargeable AAA batteries. Not to be used with a ball.
