Cheapest Golf Course to start with
hello there,
this will be my first post, my first golf year~~ went out and bought me some used clubs . I managed to get 2 callaway woods for a cheap price.. i think its cuz im a leftie that the clubs were still there in the bargain bin!. Anyhow now i need a nice course to play at a suitable price? so any caretakers!
thanks

If saving money is your goal, check out the
OttawaGolf Club
Since you are unsure how much you will play at this point, one of the 5-10-15 packs of rounds would probably work for you.

ok thanks for the tip now if i buy lets say 10 rounds of golf, or even 15 rounds of golf do i still pay green fees? or is that 15 rounds like 1 round at a golf course ?? so i can play 15 times at any of the golf courses listed on that list you have there on the OGC membership page??

You must book your rounds through our club booking system in order to play on your membership. Otherwise you will pay full green fees at the course.
To begin in golf... look in the schools section for a golf school near you and take a few beginner lessons. Then practice at the range until you can advance the ball at least 100 yards consistantly. Then head out to the course. Remember nobody will care if you take a lot of strokes, as long as you keep pace. Walk quickly to your ball, without getting in front of the player playing. Be ready when it is your turn, then takeyour time and don't rush the shot itself.
For a LOT more info on starting out look in the Articles section and read the "Golf Guide"
Lots of help here if you have questions as you learn.
By the way Welcome to the game... You will never be the same again

thanks Dan
i also bought golf for dummies book, which is proving to be very very informative. As for clubs i got myself a cheap set of 75$ irons! but i managed to pick 2 really nice driver a 1 and a 3 wood. callaway big bertha war bird and a callaway big bertha 3 for 55$ each so that wasnt that bad! and i got a cleveland golf bag .. which cost the most! but im satisfied.. im a leftie so clubs are kinda hard to find
anyhow take care for now!
i might be hitting the range tonite after work if it is open /// which i think it is!

Golf instruction
Go buy Ben Hogan's Five fundamentals of golf...its a great book, less than $20 and a good start to learning the game of golf.
