Hey all,

How long after you started swinging the clubs did you folks get out on the course for the first time? I've taken 3 lessons so far and spend 2-3 days a week at the range for about a month now, don't quite feel confident nuff' to get out there... Let me know.

=)

When I was a kid (late 1960's) my parents would not let me or my brother play on the course until we proved to them that we could do so in a timely manner. Our personal rule back then was that we got one over par stroke wise and if we were not on the green at that point, we picked up and dropped on the green. From there, we were only allowed three putts and then we picked up. My parents were big as well for us to learn proper etiquette before we played on the course. It is all about taking care of the course and being aware there are others using the course as well. Just something to consider as you learn the game.
