First time golfing - any tips?

Very true - I can't wait to start lessons; even if I can't play much my first few years of practice.

My former was way into golf so he got me playing, and now I take the class so I can practice with other people who aren't great.

I'm kind of surprised none of the groups at the law school don't sponsor something golf-related. There are a ton of courses around here; you can't go too far in the state without running across a course.
