How do you play golf step by step?


It’s hard to think of a sport that requires more finesse and coordination than golf. That said, it also doesn’t take much time to get started.


It’s easy to learn the rules and fundamentals, and then you’ll be able to pick up some basics on the course. 


At some point, you may want to consider taking lessons or getting some personal tips from a pro, but don’t worry too much about it in your early days.


I don’t think in terms of step by step when it comes to learning how golf works. I think more in terms of a process where you grow into the game over time by practicing and playing golf.


Some say you can learn to play golf by doing things in a certain order like this...


"Make sure that you have your feet aligned (in a three-quarter stance so that the club is almost square to the ball), then drop your shoulders and hips, hold the club lightly at address, then swing down in a controlled motion with your arms straight and knees bent.”


… but I think it’s more about a process where you should take one small step at a time and enjoy yourself while doing it.


How does the game of golf work?


Golf is an individual sport, and thus it doesn’t actually “work” in the traditional sense.


However, there are a few things that need to happen for a game to occur, or for you to be able to play the game.


Golf is a sport that requires both physical and psychological skills to master. 


The rules of the game aren’t all that complex, but it can take some time to learn how to play. Golf is a game of extreme precision and practice, but there are many nuances that are often not explained well to beginners. 


  • The purpose of this website is to guide you through the basics and help you get started. 


It’s a complex and complicated sport, but with proper instruction and guidance, even first-time golfers can find enjoyment in the green rolling hills and manicured fairways.


How the game of golf works can be explained in many ways, for example like this…


“Golfers put the ball on a tee, line up their clubs, and hit the ball with as straight of a swing as possible. Once everyone is done, the person whose shot landed farthest from the hole hits again. It's a game that tests focus and precision.”


… but I like an explanation like this better…


“I once asked my dad to explain the game of golf to me. The first thing he told me was that the game of golf is a game of honor. It’s not about winning, it’s about competing. It’s about respecting your opponent, yourself, and the rules of the game.”


But, there’s more to it...


What are the basic rules of golf?


If you’re new to the game of golf, there are a few basic rules of golf that are important to know. 


The Rules of Golf are maintained by the governing bodies of golf, which are the United States Golf Association (USGA) and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (R&A).


At its most basic level, the game of golf is all about hitting a small, hard ball into a hole using as few strokes of the club as possible. There are 18 holes on a golf course, and the goal is to get the ball into the hole in as few strokes as possible.

The key to playing great golf is in your head. 


If you’re thinking you’re going to play bad, then you’re going to play bad. But if you’re thinking you’re going to play great, then you’re going to play great.


Golf is a game of precision and timing. It’s also a game of technique, so understanding how to strike the ball correctly is the first step to mastering the sport. 


  • How does golf scoring work?


Golf is a game based on honor and integrity. 


Golf is also a game of numbers. 


The scoring system of golf is both simple and complex, with easy-to-understand methods to determine scoring, but also points for bogey and par that you need to understand if you want to keep score accurately.


Golf scores are based on each hole played, as well as the total of all holes and rounds. For golf, success is determined by how many shots a player takes.
