In New York, a 30 minute lesson with a PGA pro goes for something like $35-40 bucks.
O' and thanks for all the advice "which I can't take because I'm not paying you"
The only thing worse than lack of practice is lots of bad practice. Don't train yourself a bad swing. See a professional. It will likely cost you roughly the same as a round of golf. If you can find a beginner's group lesson, that would be ideal. They will teach you what you need to get started. I would imagine there's a lot of places to learn in the greater fort wayne area. I would start with a local course and talk with their club pro.
From the looks of the floor, the corner of the furniture, the paint, etc... your home looks beautiful. I mean from what little I see.
and am down to an 11.6 handicap.
I'm serious, though! As soon as you pick up a club everyone around you suddenly becomes an expert golf teacher.
Has anyone herd of the "Rope-it"

But it was fun.

what is a handicap exactly
from wiki:
A handicap is a numerical measure of an amateur golfer's playing ability based on the tees played for a given course. It is used to calculate a net score from the number of strokes actually played, thus allowing players of different proficiency to play against each other on somewhat equal terms. The higher the handicap of a player, the poorer the player is relative to those with lower handicaps. Handicaps are administered by golf clubs or national golf associations. Exact rules relating to handicaps can vary from country to country.
from me:
96% of the average of your 10 best rounds of your last 20 based on score and course rating.

Sort of. There is a formula.................
PS- Sorry for the novel. I'm a golf nut, and any time I get into a conversation about it, I tend to get a bit long winded.
Keep your head down!!!
