How to get better

DONT EVER SPEND MONEY ON TRAINING AIDS/INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS/ANY KIND OF Bullshit GIMMICK
 (no matter how good it looks on TV at 3 AM)

The following are ways you can get better for free

1.) Watch videos on you-tube you would be surprised a lot of good information on you-tube... just search golf lessons or golf tips there is hundreds of videos some are garbage but a lot are very good from reputable teachers.

 

2.)  Stand in front of a mirror and take what swing thought you learned and put them into motion

3.)Find a local practice green that doesn't hassle you or charge for people to use it and just work on your short game.   If you can consistently get up and down... that is much better then hitting it 300 yards.

4.) Watch Golf Channel/ Watch pro tournaments

 5.) Play with golfers better than you

 Those were 5 free ways now if you want to spend a few bucks here is how you should spend.

1.) Proper equipment. Not expensive proper. Which includes 14 clubs that fit you. By fit I mean three things essentially. One length, two grip size and three shaft flexibility. Ideally if you are starting out you would like to have more forgiving clubs but that is not essential.
As for the 14 clubs generally you have a Putter, 2 woods, and 11 Irons. Sometimes 9 or 10 irons with hybrids.

2.) In person lessons by a PGA tour teaching pro. Nothing better for your game nothing better.

3.) Driving range time: If possible natural grass tees

4.) Green Fees
