Equipment

In golf, equipment is just as important as everything else. Golf gear may cost more than your usual sport, but it needn’t be. As a beginner, the right equipment trumps expensive equipment. Get the necessary clubs such as a driver, hybrid club, irons (2 to 9), wedges, and of course, a putter. Balls, gloves, tees, and a bag should be included as well.

Golf Pro

It may be a good idea to hire a coach or a golf pro to teach you. That way, you can be corrected if ever you have basic mistakes with a posture that need correcting. Golf pros can lay the foundation for your future game. All you need to do is remember the lessons and practice.

Practice

Practice makes perfect indeed. Armed with the knowledge from your golf pro, you can set up a training routine where you can develop your swing. Get the feel of the different clubs and know when to use them.

But even with Taft’s contribution to the sport, there was another U.S. president who probably loved it more. And that president is Dwight Eisenhower. In the eight years that Eisenhower was in the White House, it was said that he had played more than 800 rounds in total, which is equivalent to two rounds every week. He was quite enthused with golf that he even had a putting green outside his office, with which...
