Default I recommend you do not take any lessons from bobster, apkS4, Durrty Dufour, et al., aka AWMA LPGA.

Default need cheap starter (used) clubs? let me know

other than that, some friends took lessons and got filmed. It really helped them see the 'mistakes' they were doing.

Make sure you take enough lessons in the beginning; You don't want to practice a bad swing. Also, be patient. If you go out too early, you'll get frustrated and give up.

Default While I am certainly not good enough to give lessons, I am way better than arob. :P

Last round at Pendleton in Caroline County was a 82. What say you now Rob?

Default I'd recommend going to a local course and get lessons from the club pro unless someone provides a...

better instructor. Starting off with instruction should help prevent you from learningbad habits. I would also start with a set of used clubs just to get things going. Its a frustrating game at times but it can be quite fun with the right people even if you are playing bad. Beer helps too. :P

Default Yes - wear layers of underwear when playing with the AWMA folks. They like to drop drawers.

Default I'm thinking about signing up for lessons at Golf Galaxy in Fair Lakes.

$99 for 4 30min sessions, video analysis, club fitting (I think?)
