I have only been playing for about 2 months now and I feel I don't know enough and haven't practiced enough. Any tips on what types of things I should now in 2 months and maybe some clubs I should get a s a beginner?

just be reguarly trying to advance the ball to where you want it to go. -
then once you are doing that start keeping a score. and every round you play try to lower your score.

this is what i done.i have been playing golf just under a year and now shooting reguarly in the 80s.

you made want to try and book a bunch of lessons with your local pro, - this will also stop you developing bad habits and he should be giving you a good direction on where to go.


good luck buddy!!

Yes I am currently taking lessons from a pro, as a matter of fact, I have a lesson today

good to hear!

enjoy yourself!!

Yes.

Tell your teacher you want to focus on scoring from 150 yards and in, and want to work on that until you can do it well.

It will shock your teacher. And then the teacher will think you are the smartest person he has ever taught.

Yes, I would say working on 150 yds and in is a great place to start. Shots are definitely saved by getting on the green consistently from there...

Yes I will tell him that then.

Taking lessons is a great way to start! Good for you!

If you want a book that will give you some information on the basics of golf, try "golf for dummies" by Gary McCord. It will give you a little information on the whole sport in general....

The most important thing as a beginner, for me, was working on hitting the ball in the direction that I intended. Also, know what distance your clubs carry.

Chipping, putting and pitching are the most important things to work on, later. That is what I want to improve.

I agree, but to me, that's not really any different than saying you want to work on hitting the ball off the tee and keeping it in the fairway. In both cases, what you are talking about is learning a consistent full swing. To me, that's the most challenging thing about golf.
Everyone's different and I'm sure that lessons on the short game, chipping, putting, etc., would be helpful. But to me, the short game stuff is easier to improve just by lots of practice on your own. It's a lot more about feel. Getting consistency in the full swing has been the biggest challenge for me.

most important thing enjoy your golf and have fun!!!
