Don't be intimidated
If you're intrigued by golf, you've probably got some idea about what it involves. But it's easy to feel intimidated.
For one thing, the game is littered with jargon: par, bogey, birdie, tee, fore, woods, rough, bunkers, fairway, wedge, chip, strokeplay, matchplay, slice, hook, handicap… the list goes on. In fact, it's all pretty simple: the jargon is very easy to pick up, and with a bit of practical experience of the game, you'll be speaking the lingo in no time at all.
As for the skills, they are essentially natural, and easy to learn.
