We often get the chance to go out and play golf with friends. Borrow or share a set of clubs and hack our way around a golf course. Great. Not only is it hard on your confidence, it is also hard on the course. As hard as it will be to contain yourself, at least get some basic training or you'll end up with a lot of frustration and give up because it is "too hard".

Our advice is to invest in a few lessons from a registered coaching pro.  Please phone the office if this is something that you are interested in.  There are some exciting developments happing at the Club with new coaches being recruited.  This is the best way to get some good habits established.  Don't worry, the bad habits are the easiest to learn.  

However,if you want to give it a go by yourself first, come out to our Driving Range. Purchase a bucket of balls (we can lend you a club) and have a hit. Preferably bring a friend who has played golf to give you a hand. The best club to start with is something like a 7 iron. It might feel great trying to smash a ball with a driver but you will not get a lot of consistency.

You should get lessons!
You may have plenty of mates at the range who will teach you the 'innermost secrets' of golf. Fact is that most of them have started playing not long before you.

Golf Professionals are the only people qualified to teach you how to play the game. Lessons from a Pro will cost money but will be the best investment you'll ever make. Taking advice from friends and family will likely result in faults that will take a long time to correct later.

An introductory lesson will give you the three fundamentals:

Grip;

Stance; and,

Posture

With a basics correct you can then come out to the Driving Range and practice correctly.

 Give it a Go

Cambridge Golf Club has a very successful programme of lessons and support to help new golfers learn to play Golf, or to hone your skills for a return to Golf.

We run a series of “Give it a Go” coaching clinics on a regular basis, during the weekdays.

Our ladies "She Loves Golf" introductory programme is hugely popular.  A ladie's specific 6 week programme where you can learn some fundamentals of golf in an encouraging an non intimidating environment.  This is a fabulous programme to connect with other ladies looking to embark into the world of golf.  We offer discounted memberships for 'graduates' of this programme, along with mini tournaments and social engagement within the club.  So round up a group of friends and take that leap of faith into our great game.
