Limitations that go through the daily duties, the economic, the individual, family, finally, a few that keep us from including playing golf or practicing four times a week, with which we must settle for “getting” a Saturday or perhaps a Sunday to play one or two games a week and make a huge effort to achieve focus and forget the everyday world.

How long does it take to be a good golfer?

Posted by Aaeron Ehast

good golferThe eternal question that beginners often make when they finish the first course: ” How soon will I know play golf? ” . And my repeated response: “depends on several factors such as the ability of everyone in golf, goals, a willingness to work on your game and ability to learn and adapt to each player.”

Two simple tips are what I can make to avoid disappointment and fall into errors:
- Set yourself some goals in stages , ie days and hours you think you’re going to engage in practices, programs and tournaments on television you can see, the magazines pueds consult, etc. Never acanzar marques difficult goals because you can fall into neglect and abandon the golf individual move wrongly.
- settle down achievable goals, “easy” . Download of the 100 shots on a walk, play later in the 90′s, etc.
For those who really want to be great golfers, the most important factor to consider is the willingness to work hard to be better. The golf is learned through routine and repetition, which leads us to think that improve just have to practice, practice, practice.

Of course, to accelerate this process the best measure is to take lessons by a qualified teacher by the RFEG. My experience tells me that someone who never touched a golf club and after some classes, it is possible that in a few weeks (depending on the time you spend, skills, etc.) is playing around in the field.
