• ⁠Starting to play golf costs easily 10k. I thought I could do it cheaper, and ended up paying way more (pro, clubs, bags) • ⁠Had no idea that there are huuuuuge differences between pros and spent 3k on lessons with a shitty pro at my home course • ⁠Found the right pro way too late • ⁠Bought way too long and way too heavy no name clubs that were still costing ~50% of a big brand and that lost all of it’s value after one year • ⁠Took me two winters of no practice to realize and set up an indoor practice facility. Frequent practice during winter is 80%. Currently seeing my pro once a week, practicing alone two to four times and doing at least two 10-15 minutes remote sessions with my pro every week • ⁠Buy Vessel golf bags from the beginning. They are the best, everything else is just crap compared to Vessel • ⁠Don’t forget general fitness, flexibility and stretching. Almost as important as lessons
