Go and enjoy it is the best advice. Other than that get rid of your TM gear and swap it for Ping!

Welcome

Glove Mizuno Bioflex is a decent low price glove

Golf balls Bridgestone E5 or Srixon AD333 would be a good ball to start with

Spend alot of time putting and chipping practice

You have a very nice driving range in Aintree too

 

[Wayman]

Some nice courses over that side of country

 

[Scousejay]

if you over 40

You can't go wrong with srixon ad333 or srixon soft for balls. Srixon Cabrera leather gloves are also a good buy but I pay a little more and get footjoy weathersof gtx. Washable and last longer.

So few scouser's on here then! Think go for the foot joy gloves if can find where to buy them. Thanks for advice.
Thanks. Jay.

Get yourself round a sports direct shop, Srixon gloves are a fiver in there, just as good as their £15 equivalents.oh and don't buy a "pair" just buy one, for your left hand if your are right handed. not a bad selection of reasonable priced clothes aswell.
Go and enjoy yourself mate, I have a mate who has just got into golf at 34, he is now a bit addicted!! Lol

 

[jpenno]

Jay there are a few of us scouters on here, most of them are playing formby today and royal Liverpool tomorrow

As suggested sports direct is a good place to start for your clothing etc, not necessarily the same for clubs , they are usually cheap for a reason, you would be better getting second hand clubs

If your in childwall then allerton is down the road try a few rounds on the nine hole course, they also have two clubs there if you do enjoy the game

 

[TeeItHigh]

You guys playing formby should read a book called phantom of the open its quite funny had me laughing out loud

 

[Stuart_Wales]

My advice would be to go and have a couple of lessons from the start to get your grip/stance etc correct from the off. Then just playplayplay!

 

[Scousejay]

All ready had the lessons that's why itching to get out & play. Then can play play. Ha. Enjoying the lessons finding out about my bad habits & trying to get rid if them. I have a lot!!

Welcome to the game! Bridgestone E5s are great balls for the money. Gloves. All good suggestions above. Personally like footjoy, and tend to keep checking online for multi buy offers. Saves a few quid. Most important, have some fun!

 

[6inchcup]

go to cosco,cheap balls and gloves,bowring parks not to far away but you need a 6 pack of stella and jeans and a footy top to play there LOL

 

[garyinderry]

i played bowring park a few weeks in ago on a glorious sunny morn. it was a nice wee course and i didnt see any of the stella crew. ill definitly be back. couple of lovely wee holes.

met a sound wee man called dave who was selling golf balls.

Oi Its not just for the Scottish............:temper:

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Rather than looking at gear, get a lesson or two and get the basics sorted. Much better long term investment. Other than that get out and play as much as possible and enjoy it
