2 for 1 offer on this app (use code FESTIVE) means I’ll play my 1st par 71 course on Saturday.
I started playing golf in July and have only played a par 3 course. I’m quite nervous; not using an iron off the tee is daunting!
Any tips? I don’t have a driver, but my 3 wood on the range is ok-ish. (I think)

Just take a smooth swing and don’t try and hit the ball too hard. Other than that just enjoy it and don’t worry about slices, topped shots etc - you will be surprised how often regular golfers hit these.

Let us know how you get on.

Enjoy it, everyone started somewhere.

Enjoy the good shots and laugh off the bad 👍👍

Just enjoy it, and don't worry about how many shots it takes to get round.

This is spot on in all aspects. You will be tempted to try to hid the ball too hard, don't.

Beginner Advice Guide - I created a thread last week. It's for what advise people wish they had when they first started playing golf. Hopefully some useful information in there for you.

Don't do it, don't o it.

Do it once and it will become an addiction!!

As others have said, just get out and enjoy it.
Don't worry / think about your score.
If you have a bad round, then just make the next one better.

The main thing when starting, is to have in mind when you hit a bad shot, that even the very best hit some shockers too!!! Try and stay calm, use your head, and work on your course management.
