Has anyone been out to play a round yet? Where did you go?

thanks for the tip Mat. I'm hoping to get out to a driving range soon. :)

Real grass will give you a much better reference point to how you are making contact with the ball. As of right now, there are no "grass" driving ranges open yet. There are plenty of driving ranges open, but they are still on "driving mats."

Best of luck.

Hey. My name is Mat. I am 25 years old and I have been playing for 13 years. I currently am working for a buddy on the Canadian tour as his caddie. I am a member at Wintergreen Golf Course in Bragg Creek and I play with a 2 handicap. Excited to browse the site. Thanks for putting it up.

Hi. I would recommend you focus on the etiquette of the game and how to keep up the pace of play as opposed to learning the rules. The most frustrating thing for any golfer is to watch a person who is a slow player (and there are lots of very good golfers who are very slow!)
It will only take you years to learn all the rules anyway so..don't be in a rush! :o) Seriously though, there are a few "rules of golf illustrated" books out there - get one of those. Do NOT buy a rule book - it's too confusing for a novice!

I agree with Mat. First of all, there is no substitute for observing real ball flight. Secondly, in some simulators the lower you hit the screen the farther it goes - which is the opposite (generally)of real course conditions. I work a few shifts a month at a golf shop and we have simulators so I know it's true. However, if you consider the machine to be an "indicator" as opposed to a "simulator" then they are an excellent testing tool for equipment-especially in the winter.
