⛳ Never played golf before? This is for you.
Golf can look a little daunting when you’re starting out — different clubs, different shots, rules, etiquette… where do you even begin?
The good news is, you don’t need to know any of it before you start.
Over our 5 Beginner Tips, we’re keeping things simple and showing that getting into golf doesn’t have to be complicated.
🏌️ Start with a shorter club
🤝 Keep your grip relaxed
💨 Swing smooth — you don’t need to smash it
⛳ Let the club do the work
😊 And most importantly… don’t worry about your score yet!
Your first few times playing golf should be about making contact, getting a few balls in the air, learning as you go and enjoying yourself.
And if you’d like a helping hand getting started, a 30–60 minute beginner lesson can make a huge difference and help you learn the basics before bad habits creep in.
We’d love to welcome more people into golf here at Crow Nest Park Golf Club — whether your goal is to eventually become a member, play socially with friends, or simply give golf a try for the very first time.
📞 Call the Pro Shop on 01484 401152 to book a beginner lesson.
You don’t have to be a golfer to come to Crow Nest. You can become one here. ⛳💛
