Golf Equipment - The Most Expensive Is Not Always Correct For You
Excuse the expression from above but you really need to go back to the basics when starting golf. Golf shoes are essential, and if they are not waterproof put them in the garbage. Experienced golfers will have their own unique putter style they prefer. I have seen many a good golfer never wear one but in hot weather it gives you added grip and in damp conditions it could be your only grip. The more experienced golfer should pay more attention to the ball they are using, you could be losing valuable distance from the tee meaning the difference on your next shot from an eight iron or a comfortable pitching wedge.
Your Golf Swing Is Good Enough
Now don't get me wrong, if you are a total beginner, maybe you should start out with learning the basics of the golf swing with a lesson. I have talked to PGA golf instructors that say it's their clients that want the swing advice (just like I did) even when they recommend working some other part of their game first. I even participated with a group of golfers that all had our swings videotaped and then we critiqued each other in a classroom setting. For many years, I too was a swing zombie in my quest to improve my golf game. If you watch the Golf Channel or read any of the magazines and books on golf, it will be very hard for you to miss the basic theme that There is a perfect swing and you will do the most for your game by trying to get it.

wait for him to complete his second swing. Don't practice your swing while other members of your
group are hitting, and don't stand behind the tee.
