learning golf

My Name is Allen,i am a shoemaker by trade and just about to retire
I started to learn Golf about a year ago and now i i am really trying to get to grips with it, so any help will be greatly received

hi allan
how are you getting on after a year golfing. the thing to remember is golf is ment to be fun and that means relaxing and not trying to hit the ball to hard, i think it the number one mistake people make. trying to hit the ball to hard makes you swing faster and knocks your timing all off, swing at about 80/90% and you will find the games easy to play and more relaxing and you will find you hit the ball better more often too.

Hi Bill.
Thanks for reply to my thread, will take on board your advice
Regards Allen

I am very similar to you and my approach has just this minute been to order 3 skills golf. It is only about the price of a good lesson or 2 and has good reviews. Will post on the site if I get any improvement.
