Golf Gear
You will clearly need some golf equipment to start playing golf. The fundamental items are a golf club set, a golf bag, tees, and balls. However, you don’t essentially need to purchase these at first; you can rent them out from most golf courses. But, if you are serious about taking up the game, then investing in a good set of clubs, balls and a golf bag is elemental.
If you take the decision to invest in golf equipment you will find that there are hundreds of options. Most of the top brand name golf manufacturers spend millions trying to get you to buy their equipment. But don’t rush out and spend thousands of dollars on golf clubs that might not help your game.
Preferably, start off with a good set of golf clubs that are designed with the beginner in mind. Sometimes, they are called game improving clubs and they are designed to be more forgiving to miss-hits. You can have them tailor made for your physical size and swing speed by customizing the clubs with the correct shaft type and flex.

If you are willing to work on your game and can make consistent contact with the ball, I'd keep you on my team. For high school girls, many golf coaches (unless you go to a school with an outstanding girls golf program) are just looking for girls who have some experience with the sport. I hate having to start from scratch. Don't EXPECT to play varsity in the very first match but definitely show the coach that you WANT to.
Three great drills:
1. Connection drill – take either two small headcovers or two golf gloves and place them under your arms. Using a pitching wedge, make 10 three quarter swings only focusing on not dropping the items under your arms. This is done by some of the best in the business these days – Padraig, Vijay, etc… Just be sure to stick with short shots on this drill. It's purpose is to get the big & small muscles of the upper body working in sequence together.
2. Balance drill A – Hit 15 shots and with each shot, hold your finish until the ball lands. As simple as it is, it's a fantastic drill for developing real consistency over the long term. Think this is too simple for your liking, you Tiger & Phil wannabes? Go to your local course and watch the golfers on the range/course. How many of them hold their finishes (and how many of them can break 100)? Now watch 5 minutes of PGA/LPGA Tour golf on TV. How many hold their finishes? And how good are they again? Try it and you'll surprise yourself.
3. Balance drill B – Place 5 golf balls in a line that's perpendicular to your target line/foot line, all about 3 inches apart. Back up about ten feet from the golf balls and with club in hand, stand on one leg (for RH golfers, your left leg). W/o using your club as a crutch, hop over to the closest ball and make as balanced a swing as you can, being sure to use your body to turn back & thru (not your hands & wrists).
After impact, try to really get thru the ball to the point that you almost have to hop to maintain your balance. Once you've accomplished this, don't put your right leg down. Remember, you still have 4 more balls to hit.
Once you've hit all five golf balls, hop back over to the original spot where you started from and then you can put your right leg back down on the ground. This is much more difficult than it seems, but is a lot of fun, especially for kids who have a decent amount of experience in the game. But trust me, you'll feel this one.
Try this a few times, then hit ten or so normal shots with both feet in standard position. It's a great way to teach balance in a golf swing.

OK here are some tips: make certain there are no extremes in your set up to do this your feet shoulders and hips hould be aligned or very close this influences your swing about 80%.
Always make sure you weight is even on both feet this will ensure no slumping of the shoulders that will throw off your swing my a large degree.
Keep your grip firm yet relaxed to promote a full release of the club almost as if you were going to throw the club down the fairway.
Stand up tall and relaxed bend over slightly and slightly bend your knees this should allow your swing to be upright and not flat but be carefu lnot to stand up to tall or you will get to steep.
Always commit to your shot 60% of all bad shot are because of being tenitive go for it and follow through.
My number one tip is to stay centered on all shots the goal in golf is to return the club to the ball the same way you set up to it, be a golfing machine stay cenetered turn back and finish facing your target easy.
Truly, the best idea, is to ask a golf proffesional at your nearest driving range. There, you can ask as many questions as you want, and the instructor will guide you throughout your swing. It makes it alot easier than reading other peoples ideas because you dont know truly that you are making the perfect swing. I hope your game improves!
I agree with you. In probably 90% of my answers in the golf section I say… go get a lesson from a pro. We don't know there swing — they could be describing it wrong.. we could be telling them the wrong thing. Its too hard to give someone tips over the internet when 1/2 the time, they don't understand what you are telling them to do. So many people just ask a buddy for some tips instead of going and asking someone who does that for a living and making their golf game better. Like my friend had me over, showed me her swing and asked me what she should do to improve it. She thinks I should know because I have two cousins who are PGA Pros and an uncle on Tour. I just wrote down my cousins phone number and told her to call him. It bugs me so much that people try to improve there game by just asking other golfers. Good Question!
- I was reading another answer and recipes are different than fixing a golf swing.
here are a couple of on-line tips to read or view.
I am picking up golf this year and bettered my game by getting DVDs and books from the local library.
Also, I get out to practise putting areas and ask tips from other golfers near there
Good luck and have fun
I think Golf Digest is a better magazine. Not only it supplies useful golf drills and tips from the top teaching and playing professional (butch harmon, hank haney, tiger woods, tom watson and many more), there are alot of news regarding about golfs. If you pick Golf Digest up, you'll know happenings around the PGA tour, players' interviews and tips, fashion, Q&A, junior tournaments, good car and restaurants and many more.
that is unreal… looks like a photograph… crazy good
