I took up the game from my fatherwhen i was 16, it was he that thought me to play golf, because he was playing it for 20+ years before i was born, and in his prime was a +4 handicapper at the local corse. He tought me all the basics at first and we did the same practice routine, that some of the pros do and that is, start with hitting a couple wedges and work you way through your bag.
