Everything you need to know to become a golfer

“Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad”, a

fascinating quote by A.A. Milne. The other day, out of the blue my friend Dino asked me to go

golfing. I was surprised because I know he’s never once stepped foot on a driving range, let alone

a golf course! With some hesitation, I agreed to take him golfing and show him the ropes. I was

So we roll into the Long Beach Country Club’s parking lot and I suggest we hit the driving

range to warm up. Dino gets upset because he just wants to get out on the actual course and play.

I then explain to him how crucial it is to spend time practicing and warming up before and or

after you play. As were warming up I go over the different types of clubs we will use throught the

round of golf, staring with the driver aka “the big dog”, which is the largest club in the bag and

used on the first shot on most holes. You’ll then usually pull out and iron to hit your next shot.

Irons are numbered from one all the way to ten (also known as the pitching wedge). The higher
