Golf

In my opinion, sure.

What should be recognized is the pace of play, both for your playing partners and others behind you. Figure 4-4.5 hours for 18 holes with a foursome.

When you’re just starting out, I wouldn’t even bother keeping score. I don’t right now. We’re just not good enough for that quite yet. When you can start shooting bogie or par on some holes, then maybe start keeping score. I shot par and bogie on two par 4’s, 341 yard and 442 yard respectively, earlier this week so I’m getting there.

I’m just coming back to the game after 20+ years and wasn’t all that great back then being honest. Right now I pick my ball up all the time to keep up with my partners. Let’s face it, I’m just practicing on the course. And it is so different on the course from hitting balls on the range.

Lessons are a great idea. Start out right and don’t learn bad habits. I did the same thing.
