Played my first round today!

I thought I'd just share with you that I played on a course for the very first time today, i went along to a starter clinic at a club not far from me and met some very friendly members whom invited me to play with them and so they could show me round. they gave me lots of encouragement and advice and i really did enjoy myself. I didn't bother scoring and wont be doing for the first few times, but just get a feel for it, its certainly alot differant than being on the driving range. It took a few shots to get to the green but they have told me i am a very good putter The main thing is i didn't kill anyone, i didn't lose any balls and i didn't hack up the course and i haven't broken my clubs yet!..lol Ive now taken out the 2 month taster membership so bring it on

well done and glad you had fun plus ladies don't swear lol, hope you have lots of fun and make new friends

Not losing a ball in your first ever round is brilliant! Quite right not to keep score too - I made the mistake of keeping score when I started (but then I am a data nerd) and it didn't help me at all. Much better to just practice and enjoy without the pressure of a score.

well done! the first round of many!

Well done. Glad you enjoyed it. Very sensible to play and let scoring come later. Did you play at Lincoln Golf Centre? PS. There a many golfers who would give their right arms to be good putters (joke in there).

Well done enjoy all your games and good luck.

Well done

sam, well done on your first round, just a thought though if i am playing a round practice or not i always make a note of what i have done even if i dont submit the card, gives you something to better next time you go out ie scored 126 next time i go out aim for 125 or better, also shows you your poor bits of the game that you can work on next time you go and practice, ie short game, putting, driving etc, congrats on not losing a ball though, i lost 9 on my first time out !, always best to try and block out those that are watching and imagine you are on the driving range, works for me, the fun part is if your at a golf club that has the 1st & 9th right under everyones noses then you REALLY feel the pressure lol, well done though, as i was told your not longer a golfing virgin lol.

Lovely little course at Sudbrooke. Very well maintained. An excellent place for a first membership. Enjoy your golf.
