This game is a life-long passion for so many people, yet it takes a solid few months or even years to get good enough to really enjoy it.\nHere are my best tips for starting.\nIf you don't want to hear this, you're going to have to find another golf blog, because I'll keep saying it until it is cemented into the back of your brain and you start dreaming about your short game.\nWhat does this consist of? Well, it's pretty simple.\nAnything less than 100 yards is what I consider the short game.\nThat means putting, chipping, pitching, and even some longer wedge shots.\nNot everyone will agree with this categorization, but I can guarantee you that any accomplished golfer will agree that practicing shots less than 100 yards is critical to your success on the golf course. I've never talked to Jason Day or Jordan Spieth personally, but if I asked them whether 100 yards and in is important in golf, I'm 100% positive that the answer would be a resounding YES.\nWhen you can barely get off the tee, can't make a 3-foot putt, and feel intense anxiety every time you have to hit a chip shot off a tight lie, keeping track of your golf statistics does not seem like a good use of your time.\nBut there are a couple of reasons why I think you should be tracking your statistics anyway. And when I say \"statistics\", I am talking about fairway percentage, greens in regulation (GIR), putts per round, scrambling percentage, and sand save percentage.\nTo name a few, tracking stats will help you:\nKnow what to practice\nKnow that you are actually improving (sometimes it doesn't feel like it even if you are!)\nSee my post,\nwhat statistics you should track\nfor more.\nThis one might not be obvious if you're just starting, but you'll thank me later. I often see beginners picking up grips like these:\nThese grips feel awesome when you get them in your hands, but they wear down so quickly that you'll be buying new ones in 6 months (if you play a lot).\nA lot of beginners also purchase these grips:\nThese feel very \"tacky\" and nice in the golf store, but the second you get some rain or sweat on them, your driver will be flying out of your slick hands into the pond in front of the tee box.\nThe grips that I recommend as \"all weather\" grips are any grips that have \"cord\" in their names. Here are probably the most popular \"cord\" grips on the market:\nThere are other choices such as the\nZGrip\n(which I personally use), but I can tell you with the utmost confidence that if you purchase\nGolf Pride Multicompound golf grips\n, they will last a long time, play well in rain and sweaty weather, and feel great in your hands. They are expensive, but given they will last at least 5 years, I'd say it's worth the investment.\nDon't be that guy who shows up with his driver in the lower portion of his golf bag. It's a rookie mistake.\nWhile it won't drop your strokes, your more experienced playing partners will at least give you kudos for your bag organization.\nHate me for it or not, there is a \"pro\" way to organize a golf bag, and it looks like this.\nOh, and get rid of your iron headcovers. That is a telltale sign of a beginner.\nIf you stick around long enough here, you'll hear me say this a hundred times. I say it a lot because it is SOOO important. What you feel during your golf swing is RARELY what is actually happening.\nThat is why video analysis is so important. I've talked previously on this blog about the correct way to make a swing change and how you should get your swing on video multiple times during your practice session to make sure that your body is actually executing the swing changes that you want. Even when you're not making a swing change, it is a good idea to get your swing on video every couple practice sessions to maintain your golf swing via \"\nmaintenance practice\n\".\nIf you enjoyed these tips and want a more comprehensive overview of the game, I recommend checking out my complete\ngolf for beginners guide\nhere or my\ngolf for beginners course.","attrs_markdown":"[![The DIY Golfer Logo](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/assets\/nav-logo-6221f18e.png)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/)\n\n## Menu\n- [About](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/about)\n- [Blog](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/blog)\n- [Terms](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/golf-terms)\n\nPlease sign in to view your courses and purchases.\n\n[Login](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/sign_in)\n\n- [About](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/about)\n- Blog\n  \n  elevate your game\n  \n  ### The DIY Golfer Blog\n  \n  Learn the \"why\" behind the game of golf.\n  \n  #### Golf Swing Positions\n  [Address (P1)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/swing-positions\/address-p1) [Takeaway (P2)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/swing-positions\/takeaway-p2) [Mid Backswing (P3)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/swing-positions\/mid-backswing-p3) [Top of Swing (P4)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/swing-positions\/top-of-swing-p4) [Transition (P5)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/swing-positions\/transition-p5) [Pre-Impact (P6)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/swing-positions\/pre-impact-p6) [Impact (P7)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/swing-positions\/impact-p7) [Release (P8)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/swing-positions\/release-p8) [Follow Through (P9)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/swing-positions\/follow-through-p9) [Finish (P10)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/swing-positions\/finish-p10)\n  \n  #### Categories\n  [Golf Terms (126)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/categories\/golf-terms) [Golf Instruction (111)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/categories\/golf-instruction) [Golf Equipment (95)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/categories\/golf-equipment) [Accessories and Gear (48)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/categories\/golf-accessories) [Golf Drills (26)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/categories\/golf-drills) [Golf Swing Positions (10)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/categories\/swing-positions) [Golf Statistics (7)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/categories\/golf-statistics) [Golf Fitness (1)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/categories\/golf-fitness)\n  \n  #### Topics\n  [Beginners (29)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/beginners) [Data-Driven Golf (16)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/data-driven-golf) [DIY Projects (12)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/diy-projects) [Golf Tips (8)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/golf-tips) [Competitive Golf (7)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/competitive-golf) [Tiger Woods (7)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/tiger-woods) [Impact (5)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/impact) [Swing Philosophies (4)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/golf-swing-philosophies) [Breaking 80 (4)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/breaking-80) [The Golfing Machine (4)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/the-golfing-machine) [Slice Fix (4)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/slice-fix) [Takeaway (4)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/takeaway) [Breaking 90 (4)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/breaking-90) [Golf Nerds (4)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/golf-nerds) [Winter Golf (3)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/winter-golf) [Breaking 100 (2)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/breaking-100) [Release (1)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/release) [Top of Swing (1)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/top-of-swing) [Golf Video Analysis (1)](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/tags\/golf-video-analysis)\n  \n  [All Posts](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/blog)\n- Terms\n  \n  learn the game of golf\n  \n  ### Golf Terms\n  \n  From golf slang to scoring terminology, you’ll find everything you need to know about golf with my comprehensive terms glossary.\n  \n  -

This game is a life-long passion for so many people, yet it takes a solid few months or even years to get good enough to really enjoy it.\n\nHere are my best tips for starting.\n\n## Tip \\#1 - Practice your short game at least 50% of the time\nIf you don't want to hear this, you're going to have to find another golf blog, because I'll keep saying it until it is cemented into the back of your brain and you start dreaming about your short game.\n\nWhat does this consist of? Well, it's pretty simple. **Anything less than 100 yards is what I consider the short game.** That means putting, chipping, pitching, and even some longer wedge shots.\n\nNot everyone will agree with this categorization, but I can guarantee you that any accomplished golfer will agree that practicing shots less than 100 yards is critical to your success on the golf course. I've never talked to Jason Day or Jordan Spieth personally, but if I asked them whether 100 yards and in is important in golf, I'm 100% positive that the answer would be a resounding YES.\n\n## Tip \\#2 - Track your statistics before you need them\nWhen you can barely get off the tee, can't make a 3-foot putt, and feel intense anxiety every time you have to hit a chip shot off a tight lie, keeping track of your golf statistics does not seem like a good use of your time.\n\nBut there are a couple of reasons why I think you should be tracking your statistics anyway. And when I say \"statistics\", I am talking about fairway percentage, greens in regulation (GIR), putts per round, scrambling percentage, and sand save percentage.\n\nTo name a few, tracking stats will help you:\n\n- Know what to practice\n- Know that you are actually improving (sometimes it doesn't feel like it even if you are!)\n\nSee my post, [what statistics you should track](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/blog\/what-statistics-should-i-track-in-golf) for more.\n\n## Tip \\#3 - Use cord golf grips\nThis one might not be obvious if you're just starting, but you'll thank me later. I often see beginners picking up grips like these:\n\n![](https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/2htn0fq6\/production\/c92ed95c8985f8a12289d14aa06a9a4e0b9ac771-600x600.jpg?w=800)\n\nThese grips feel awesome when you get them in your hands, but they wear down so quickly that you'll be buying new ones in 6 months (if you play a lot).\n\nA lot of beginners also purchase these grips:\n\n![](https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/2htn0fq6\/production\/56cc65bb889db8ec257f05e8cf6819188220198e-2000x1987.png?w=800)\n\nThese feel very \"tacky\" and nice in the golf store, but the second you get some rain or sweat on them, your driver will be flying out of your slick hands into the pond in front of the tee box.\n\nThe grips that I recommend as \"all weather\" grips are any grips that have \"cord\" in their names. Here are probably the most popular \"cord\" grips on the market:\n\n![](https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/2htn0fq6\/production\/7755376fa8aa4bd1747a447ba9e7ef251e3ebc4c-400x336.jpg?w=800)\n\nThere are other choices such as the [ZGrip](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/products\/golf-pride-z-grip) (which I personally use), but I can tell you with the utmost confidence that if you purchase [Golf Pride Multicompound golf grips](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/products\/golf-pride-multicompound-grips), they will last a long time, play well in rain and sweaty weather, and feel great in your hands. They are expensive, but given they will last at least 5 years, I'd say it's worth the investment.\n\n## Tip \\#4 - Don't look like a beginner, organize your golf bag\\!\nDon't be that guy who shows up with his driver in the lower portion of his golf bag. It's a rookie mistake.\n\nWhile it won't drop your strokes, your more experienced playing partners will at least give you kudos for your bag organization.\n\nHate me for it or not, there is a \"pro\" way to organize a golf bag, and it looks like this.\n\n![](https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/2htn0fq6\/production\/c857c90b2f316103b91b0a3f1b9429bea507f211-400x400.png?w=800)\n\nOh, and get rid of your iron headcovers. That is a telltale sign of a beginner.\n\n## Tip \\#5 - Feel is NOT Real, use video\nIf you stick around long enough here, you'll hear me say this a hundred times. I say it a lot because it is SOOO important. What you feel during your golf swing is RARELY what is actually happening.\n\nThat is why video analysis is so important. I've talked previously on this blog about the correct way to make a swing change and how you should get your swing on video multiple times during your practice session to make sure that your body is actually executing the swing changes that you want. Even when you're not making a swing change, it is a good idea to get your swing on video every couple practice sessions to maintain your golf swing via \"[maintenance practice](https:\/\/www.thediygolfer.com\/blog\/5-tips-for-getting-your-game-from-the-range-to-the-course)\".\n\n## Your next steps\nIf you enjoyed these tips and want a more comprehensive overview of

Boilerpipe Text	Being a beginner at anything is tough—especially the game of golf. This game is a life-long passion for so many people, yet it takes a solid few months or even years to get good enough to really enjoy it. Here are my best tips for starting.

This game is a life-long passion for so many people, yet it takes a solid few months or even years to get good enough to really enjoy it. Here are my best tips for starting. ## Tip \#1 - Practice your short game at least 50% of the time If you don't want to hear this, you're going to have to find another golf blog, because I'll keep saying it until it is cemented into the back of your brain and you start dreaming about your short game. What does this consist of? Well, it's pretty simple. Anything less than 100 yards is what I consider the short game. That means putting, chipping, pitching, and even some longer wedge shots. Not everyone will agree with this categorization, but I can guarantee you that any accomplished golfer will agree that practicing shots less than 100 yards is critical to your success on the golf course. I've never talked to Jason Day or Jordan Spieth personally, but if I asked them whether 100 yards and in is important in golf, I'm 100% positive that the answer would be a resounding YES. ## Tip \#2 - Track your statistics before you need them When you can barely get off the tee, can't make a 3-foot putt, and feel intense anxiety every time you have to hit a chip shot off a tight lie, keeping track of your golf statistics does not seem like a good use of your time. But there are a couple of reasons why I think you should be tracking your statistics anyway. And when I say "statistics", I am talking about fairway percentage, greens in regulation (GIR), putts per round, scrambling percentage, and sand save percentage. To name a few, tracking stats will help you: - Know what to practice - Know that you are actually improving (sometimes it doesn't feel like it even if you are!) See my post, [what statistics you should track](https://www.thediygolfer.com/blog/what-statistics-should-i-track-in-golf) for more. ## Tip \#3 - Use cord golf grips This one might not be obvious if you're just starting, but you'll thank me later. I often see beginners picking up grips like these: ![](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/2htn0fq6/production/c92ed95c8985f8a12289d14aa06a9a4e0b9ac771-600x600.jpg?w=800) These grips feel awesome when you get them in your hands, but they wear down so quickly that you'll be buying new ones in 6 months (if you play a lot). A lot of beginners also purchase these grips: ![](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/2htn0fq6/production/56cc65bb889db8ec257f05e8cf6819188220198e-2000x1987.png?w=800) These feel very "tacky" and nice in the golf store, but the second you get some rain or sweat on them, your driver will be flying out of your slick hands into the pond in front of the tee box. The grips that I recommend as "all weather" grips are any grips that have "cord" in their names. Here are probably the most popular "cord" grips on the market: ![](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/2htn0fq6/production/7755376fa8aa4bd1747a447ba9e7ef251e3ebc4c-400x336.jpg?w=800) There are other choices such as the [ZGrip](https://www.thediygolfer.com/products/golf-pride-z-grip) (which I personally use), but I can tell you with the utmost confidence that if you purchase [Golf Pride Multicompound golf grips](https://www.thediygolfer.com/products/golf-pride-multicompound-grips), they will last a long time, play well in rain and sweaty weather, and feel great in your hands. They are expensive, but given they will last at least 5 years, I'd say it's worth the investment. ## Tip \#4 - Don't look like a beginner, organize your golf bag\! Don't be that guy who shows up with his driver in the lower portion of his golf bag. It's a rookie mistake. While it won't drop your strokes, your more experienced playing partners will at least give you kudos for your bag organization. Hate me for it or not, there is a "pro" way to organize a golf bag, and it looks like this. ![](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/2htn0fq6/production/c857c90b2f316103b91b0a3f1b9429bea507f211-400x400.png?w=800) Oh, and get rid of your iron headcovers. That is a telltale sign of a beginner. ## Tip \#5 - Feel is NOT Real, use video If you stick around long enough here, you'll hear me say this a hundred times. I say it a lot because it is SOOO important. What you feel during your golf swing is RARELY what is actually happening. That is why video analysis is so important. I've talked previously on this blog about the correct way to make a swing change and how you should get your swing on video multiple times during your practice session to make sure that your body is actually executing the swing changes that you want. Even when you're not making a swing change, it is a good idea to get your swing on video every couple practice sessions to maintain your golf swing via "[maintenance practice](https://www.thediygolfer.com/blog/5-tips-for-getting-your-game-from-the-range-to-the-course)". ## Your next steps If you enjoyed these tips and want a more comprehensive overview of the game, I recommend checking out my complete [golf for beginners guide](https://www.thediygolfer.com/blog/golf-for-beginners) here or my [golf for beginners course.](https://www.thediygolfer.com/academy/courses/golf-for-beginners) ### Explore by Category [Golf Terms (126)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/categories/golf-terms) [Golf Instruction (111)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/categories/golf-instruction) [Golf Equipment (95)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/categories/golf-equipment) [Accessories and Gear (48)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/categories/golf-accessories) [Golf Drills (26)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/categories/golf-drills) [Golf Swing Positions (10)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/categories/swing-positions) [Golf Statistics (7)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/categories/golf-statistics) [Golf Fitness (1)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/categories/golf-fitness) ### Explore by Topic [Beginners (29)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/beginners) [Data-Driven Golf (16)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/data-driven-golf) [DIY Projects (12)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/diy-projects) [Golf Tips (8)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/golf-tips) [Competitive Golf (7)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/competitive-golf) [Tiger Woods (7)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/tiger-woods) [Impact (5)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/impact) [Swing Philosophies (4)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/golf-swing-philosophies) [Breaking 80 (4)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/breaking-80) [The Golfing Machine (4)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/the-golfing-machine) [Slice Fix (4)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/slice-fix) [Takeaway (4)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/takeaway) [Breaking 90 (4)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/breaking-90) [Golf Nerds (4)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/golf-nerds) [Winter Golf (3)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/winter-golf) [Breaking 100 (2)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/breaking-100) [Release (1)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/release) [Top of Swing (1)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/top-of-swing) [Golf Video Analysis (1)](https://www.thediygolfer.com/tags/golf-video-analysis) ![](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/2htn0fq6/production/21c98f8e068fc5549b4c473a3ee70b8c073a98a7-679x1784.jpg?auto=format&fit=max&w=500) Product [Strata Men's Complete Golf Set](https://www.thediygolfer.com/products/strata-mens-golf-set) These aren't the fanciest clubs in the game, but the Strata Men's set is a GREAT starting point at a good price.
