Starting Golf from Scratch

The Forever Swing: Starting Golf from Scratch

Thinking about taking up golf, but not sure where to begin? This is the guide you've been looking for.

Starting Golf from Scratch is a warm, practical and completely jargon-free beginner's guide written by a golfer who has been playing the game since the age of thirteen and knows exactly what it feels like to stand on a course for the first time, wondering what on earth you're supposed to do. There's no fluff, no technical overload and no assumption that you already know anything. Just honest, friendly guidance that gets you from curious to confident as quickly as possible.

What's inside:

The book covers everything a complete beginner actually needs. You'll learn what golf is and how it works, how to get your mindset right from the start, what equipment you really need (and what you really don't), how to dress for the course, and how to understand the rules and etiquette without having to read a rulebook the size of a dictionary.

From there, it takes you through finding somewhere to play, booking your first lesson, understanding the basics of the swing in plain English, getting to grips with putting and the short game, and playing your first proper round with confidence rather than dread. It finishes with practical guidance on how to keep improving, how to look after your body, and a full FAQ chapter that answers every question beginners have but sometimes feel awkward asking.

This guide is for you if:

You've always been curious about golf but never quite taken the plunge. Your partner, friend or colleague plays, and you'd like to join them. You've recently retired and want something that gets you outside, keeps your mind active and gives you a reason to be somewhere beautiful a few times a week. Or you simply fancy trying something new and want to do it properly from day one.

What makes this different:

Most golf instruction is aimed at people who already play. This book is written entirely for people who don't yet, with all the warmth, patience and practical detail that a complete beginner deserves. It won't talk down to you, it won't overwhelm you with theory, and it won't pretend the game is simpler than it is. It will give you everything you need to get started, enjoy yourself, and keep coming back.
