Getting Started with Golf: A Beginner’s Guide

Golf is a sport of patience, strategy, and skill—one that can be enjoyed by players of all ages and abilities. If you're just starting your golf journey, Eagle Quest Golf is here to help you every step of the way! Here are some essential tips to get you started on the right foot.

1. Start with the Basics

Before heading to the course, spend some time at the driving range to get comfortable with your swing. Focus on learning proper grip, stance, and posture—fundamentals that will set the foundation for your game.


2. Use the Right Equipment

You don’t need a full set of clubs to begin. Start with a driver, a putter, and a few irons (such as a 7-iron and a pitching wedge). Eagle Quest Golf offers rental clubs and beginner-friendly sets to make getting started easy.


3. Perfect Your Short Game

Driving the ball far is fun, but golf is won around the greens. Practicing putting and chipping will help lower your scores faster than just focusing on long shots. Spend time on the practice green to build confidence.


4. Learn the Rules & Etiquette

Understanding basic golf etiquette—like not stepping in someone’s putting line, keeping pace with play, and fixing divots—makes the game more enjoyable for everyone. If you're unsure, our friendly staff at Eagle Quest Golf is always happy to guide you.


5. Take a Lesson

Golf is a technical sport, and a lesson from a professional can fast-track your progress. Whether you're brand new or looking to refine your skills, Eagle Quest Golf offers coaching programs tailored for beginners.


6. Have Fun & Be Patient

Golf is a game of continuous improvement. Every golfer has frustrating days, but the key is to enjoy the process. Keep practicing, set small goals, and most importantly—have fun!


At Eagle Quest Golf, we’re passionate about helping new golfers develop their skills in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Visit us to practice, take a lesson, or just enjoy a round with friends. See you on the course!
