re: Looking for some golf advice

I'll tell what helped me improve relatively quickly... I started when I was 22 and I worked for a guy that was a plus handicap, he played or hit balls almost everyday, so that's what I started doing. He and I only missed doing something golf related when the weather was REALLY bad. I went from beginner with no idea how to play to a 2/3 in about 2 years.

Find a partner who can really play, ditch your hacker friends for a while. And play for something every time you peg it up.
