Getting lessons from a friend probably isn't a great idea (unless they're a registered pro), and there are two reasons for that: firstly, golf is an extremely difficult game to teach well; secondly, most golfers are so incredibly bad that all they're likely to teach you are their own faults.

Taken from the article 'GOLF FOR 39.37 pounds' by Toby Keel (Today's Golfer Staff Writer Handicap 3), in September 2006's issue of Today's Golfer, available in all news stands near you.



Today's Golfer Statsitics: How far do you hit a 7-iron?

Less than 135 yards (123 metres) = 25%
136 to 150 yards (124.3 to 137.2 m) = 44%
150+yards (137.2+m) = 31%

How To Tell Where You're Aimed
Take your stance and hold a clubshaft along the front of your thighs. Look where the club is pointing, and you will see where you are aimed.
Laying the club on the ground at your feet will tell you very little.
Much is made of how to aim.
Hit the ball solidly, and I can show you where you were aimed. Once you learn this, your mind will tell you how to aim.
