Practical Q&A for Beginners on Golf Course

by WILLIT Sports on Jun 14, 2024

Golf is a particular sport and one that players just starting out can often find frustrating and intimidating. But remember every golfer has experienced what you are going through when they pick a club up for the first time. Here we select the most frequent Q&A, it may help you to dabble in this wonderful field.

Q: What equipment I need to play golf?

  • Golf bag to carry your clubs in.
  • Tees for teeing up the ball on your tee shots.
  • Divot tool to repair marks on the green from your approach shots.
  • Ball marker for marking your ball on the green if you’re in someone else’s putting line.
  • Golf glove to improve the grip of your lead hand.
  • Golf Shoes for improved traction.
  • Towel to keep your clubs clean.

Q: What are the most important golf etiquette to remember?

  • Respect the course’s dress code by wearing appropriate golf attire. Generally, collared shirts, proper golf shoes, and tailored shorts or slacks are acceptable.
  • Most courses recommend you arrive at least 20 minutes, before you’re scheduled to tee off. This gives you extra time to stretch your muscles, prepare your cart, and practice your swing.
  • Keep up your pace. Play efficiently and keep up with the group ahead, be ready to hit when it’s your turn, then step up and fire away.
  • Keep your conversations hushed and avoid any distracting noises while someone is preparing to hit and hitting their shot. Don’t open your golf glove, pull a club from your bag, or talk while others are hitting.
  • Leave the course in the same condition that you found it. Repair ball marks on greens, replace divots, and rake the bunkers.

Q: What should I wear when playing golf?

  • Pants and shorts
Wear golf pants with a hem that touches the tops of your shoes. If your pants bunch up excessively, they're too long; if there is no break, they're probably too short. Golf shorts ought to end just above the knee-below the knee might obstruct your view of the golf ball. About color, a pair of well-fitting black or khaki golf pants is a staple in any golfer's wardrobe. However, golf pants in white, bold colors, or expressive patterns with a subtler, solid-colored shirt, which may give you a different experience.
  • Shirts
Choose collared golf shirts with short sleeves that reach three quarters of the elbow. Sleeves that hang below your elbows will hinder your swing. Synthetic materials that are both breathable and stretchy are better.
  • Footwear

Many courses require golfers to wear shoes with soft spikes made of rubber or plastic to avoid damaging the course.

Q: How do you relieve tension as a rookie?

A: Actually, no one cares how you play. If you miss your swing, no need for apologies, excuses, explanations. Because, really, no one’s paying attention to your putting, or anything else about your game. If you make some mistakes, please remember it’s normal and OK. If you’re playing with friends, own up to it and learn from it. Practice makes perfect.

Q: What should I do if I lose the ball?

A:There is no need to spend a significant amount of time searching for it. Cap your search at 3 minutes—any longer and you may hold up the pace of play. If you can’t find your ball within three minutes, it is lost. If your ball is lost, add a penalty stroke and place your replacement ball where the previous stroke was made.

Q: How often should beginners practice golf?

A: A practice schedule you can stick to is more important in seeing continued improvement over time. Hitting 50 balls twice a week with a deliberate practice focus, and playing 9-18 holes every other week would be a great start.
