welcome, he's right. reading the tutorials and practice,play & practice. It will come to you and believe me you'll have have whole lot of fun. When i began I played a lot of blitz games, they give you a variety of shots so your able to get the feel of the different clubs,options of swings etc. remember to have fun, don't get down on yourself. I do have to say , aside from a few stubborn souls, the group here at WGT are a whole lot of fun & willing to help you through those bumps you'll encounter & many have become friends you can always depend on to play with either solo or partners. After almost a year of play , i still consider myself a rookie among the many masters of this game. Look me up, ( though i haven't played regularly lately due to circumstances) i'll play a short one w/you. Hang in there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! littlesmac
