Evening, have just come across this forum so thought i'd get involved a bit and try to get some good advice to try and improve my game!
Im 20, from essex and just started playing golf around the middle of october. Firstly, although i havn't been playing too long i used to go to the driving range a few times as a kid and as a result i'm a bit better than i expected to be. Well for someone that has only been playing a few months anyway. Local course is pretty good for a begginer as i don't think there are many easy holes, best score over 9 holes so far is 38 and par is 31..i can't see myself getting near that again for the time being as i was putting like a God and usually im awful!
Anyway just wanted to ask for a few pointers and to clear a few bits up. How far can i get on a set of £100 clubs? What are GI clubs? I'm thinking my best bet is to spend some money on lessons just to see if it's worth seeing if i should be taking it a bit more seriously, my one concern is though i don't want to start having too many technical issues on my mind when playing golf. i've learnt from playing other sports (cricket) that overthinking things can just ruin the whole sport for me.
Sorry for rambling on anyway but any help would be appreciated!
