Wondering whether or not to book yourself a golf lesson? It's a reasonable question to ask - learning from a professional golf coach is a great way to improve your game, but lessons can be pricey and time consuming. So it's worth thinking carefully before you commit to anything.

Golf is a fantastic and well-loved sport. In fact, it's estimated to be the eighth most popular sport in the whole world!

There are many reasons why people love playing golf: the exercise, the fresh air, and for outgoing golfers, there's the opportunity to meet new people.

However, for more introverted players, the thought of golfing with complete strangers may be rather intimidating!

It can be difficult to get the hang of golf course etiquette, especially if you don't have friends who already play to help you find your feet. 99% of the people you'll meet while golfing are likely to be friendly and easy-going, but the prospect of sharing a golf course with strangers for several hours can be nerve-racking, especially if you're the socially anxious type.

Practising good etiquette is important, especially if you're going to be playing golf with strangers. We hope these tips will help you to feel more comfortable as you get started.
