Right time to join a club?

Thank you all for your advice on this thread. It gave me the confidence to walk into the Pros shop at my local course (Grange Park) and ask about membership. although it's not on their website, it turns out that as it is the 125 anniversary of the club they have a deal to encourage new ladies with a reduced membership of £1.25 a day this year which includes some group coaching, being taken around the course with members until you are confident and competent alone and full membership rights . Then if you carry on at the end of the year joining fee is waived. A good few women my standard are new members. It's perfect for me and I have my first coaching session tomorrow. So I'll be seeing you around on this forum as I guess I'm a golfer now

Now that is a perfect option for a new starter,female golfer.

Good luck, grange park is a good course, and a tough one, but they are building an environment to encourage new starters, which is half the battle. :thup:

It's a very daunting experience mate, I joined a club as 28 handicapper and played my first members roll up on a sat morning, I found that by just explaining to people that I was new to the game and didn't fully understand all the rules that people would go out of there way to be helpful and explain things, we've all been in your position, go for it, you won't regret it
