What are the things you need to do to become a better golfer
Things to know
Firstly and honestly golf is a very difficult game for many reasons, we will get into that later. But for everyone that is playing golf most will have a different reason why they enjoy it. I personally have been playing golf for 45 years and still love it.
If you are a new player to golf, welcome, if you are considering starting golf please give it a try. Firstly what are the things you will need to begin:
If you live in Jakarta there are many good coaches available to you but you will need to find the right facility to start.
What you will and wont need
- As a new player you wont need golf clubs to start, most facilities will be able to supply you with some equipment to use.
- You will need good sport shoes, you cannot start golf in sandals or poor foot wear.
- You will be able to learn by yourself or with friends
- You will need to wear comfortable clothing and some facilities will not allow jeans
- You wont need golf balls as you will be able to hire these for your session.
- Driving ranges have covered bay areas so you will not need sunscreen but you might like to wear a hat.
You might like to know that Hills Golf Solutions welcomes women and children to start golf.
Becoming a better golfer will take time though, learning the basics can be done in about a 10 package of lessons but you will be expected to practice outside of your lesson times. So an important point for improvement will revolve around practice , if you don't want to practice it will take longer to improve.
Once you finish you series of lessons you will have some basic knowledge of golf swing but please check your coach has allocated at least one trip to the golf course so as you can begin to understand what you need to do to play golf.
I would recommend starting golf with at least one friend but more would be fine, this will help when it comes time to go the golf course.
So do not be afraid to start golf if you have been thinking it might be good to learn, especially lady golfers, lady golfers are growing in numbers as golf is a great way to network or spend time with friends. There are many golf societies in Indonesia that welcome lady golfers, but remember it will be important to have the basics.

Hills Golf Indonesia welcomes Henry Griffitts USA to Indonesia as our club fitting/teaching system.
Henry Griffits is a world renowned fitting and teaching system that enables accredited PGA Golf Coaches the ability to assess players golf clubs and provide important tools to assist training in swing mechanics.
In 1983 Henry-Griffitts was founded by Randy Henry and another golf professional, Jim Griffitts, on the premise that players of all abilities tangibly benefit from custom-fitted golf equipment. They recognized that custom-fit golf clubs consistently enhance golfer performance – in ways that mass-produced, off-the-rack golf clubs cannot. For decades, Tour Professionals have insisted that manufacturers custom-fit their clubs – the tools of their demanding trade – to their specific body types and swing motions. Henry-Griffitts discovered what Tour Professionals have always known: On-course performance is maximized when clubs are custom fit.
Then Henry-Griffitts started asking: “Why has this service been reserved only for the elite players?”
