Networked Learning: Let the Games Begin

Learning to Golf: How should I go about it?

I’ve been thinking about the steps I need to take to learn to play golf. My first thought was that I should get some cute golf clothes.  

Just kidding! I just wanted to test out posting a screen shot because I think they're pretty cool! Plus, I am supposed to be learning a new skill for this project and I am already quite proficient at online shopping!

What I’ve really done so far is find some "learn to golf" videos. I’ve located several by doing a google search and I have saved them in a folder on google drive. I watched the British Open on TV this weekend for inspiration. Actually, the winner, Rory McIlroy said that as he’s making shots, the mantra he repeats to himself is “process.” By studying videos and reading tips, I hope to learn the process. (Although I KNOW it’s not that easy!)  I also am looking for a "Learn to Golf" community but so far I haven't found any that seem to be helpful for my needs at this time. However, I will keep that in mind.  

After watching the videos, I’m going to go outside and practice! I know now that the first two things I need to work on are the grip and my stance. I’m looking forward to it!
