First of all my cyber friend I'm glad you decided to play golf again and if you're serious about your game then the upcoming weeks and months ahead are crucial to your development. I started playing when I was 25 with 3 friends who were beginners also, 8 years later 2 of the 4 are pretty good golfers, and I'm stoked to say that I am one of the two that became pretty good and the reason is that both of us agreed on one thing which was FUNDAMENTALS.
