Going to golf for the first time ever tomorrow. Any tips or will I inevitably suck since I’ve never played




Simulator days come in clutch. I couldn’t play outside today, so went to the sim to practice some fundamentals: - setup, ball position, alignment, grip - commit to shot with no swing thought after pre shot routine This took the pressure to perform well off because the main goal of the session was to dial all the fundamentals in. Funny enough to no one’s surprise, I started striking the ball significantly better than I have been. Was able to get data of one of my best shots today with my 5 wood:

Hand up accountability time. I didn’t listen to my own advice. I took myself way too seriously on the golf course today. After the round, my mom and I narrowly avoided getting t-boned on the highway. Had to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid it. Thank God we’re okay. Made me realize how stupid it was to spend 4 hours angry over golf. Funny enough, once I stopped caring about my score, I finished even par over the last 4 holes. There’s probably a lesson in there.
