So I'm going to go ahead and get back into golfing this summer. Need a bit of advice on that front.
My dad has always had a membership, and so when I was growing up he had me and my brother in the junior program, but I never really took to it. Learned how to swing a club, which is a good thing to learn as a kid, but I wasn't any good, and got frustrated with the expectations - it felt more like a chore than anything. So I stopped entirely when I was probably 16. Since then, I've played a handful of rounds, and the past few years I'm basically just playing in 1-2 best ball tournaments each summer that are more about getting obnoxiously drunk than they are about golf.
I have clubs, and I've been to the range a few times this spring to just see if I could consistently make contact with a golf ball. I can, but I've got a pretty nasty hook going and no consistency in terms of accuracy over about 120 yards. Basically, I still swing the club quite hard and generally hit the thing a mile, but who knows in what direction. I think I should probably get lessons? The only real goal is to get my game to a point where it's not embarrassing and I can get through a round without spraying shots left and right and losing a bunch of balls.
Tips?
