Start at 1st teeing ground.  Hit the ball, as many times as it takes until it goes in. Repeat 17 more times. That basic enough for you?  If you want more information, go to USGA.com, sign up and they'll send you the complete rules of golf.  Covers every aspect of the sport.  But the basic gist is, hit, repeat.

It's been said that the driver is the second most important club in your bag-- next to your putter. A good drive sets the tone for the rest of the hole. Will you be scrambling just to get back on the fairway, hoping for pars and bogeys-- or will you be aggressively going for the green and for birdies? \n\nBy squeezing a few extra yards out of those drives, the subsequent iron shot will be that much easier, as will your chips, putts, and so on. \n\n1. Body Coil - Tiger Woods, Fred Couples, and other greats generate tremendous power by coiling the upper body with a big shoulder turn. The hips, however, don't turn nearly as much. This creates tension and torque, not unlike a rubber band being stretched before it's let go. How do you accomplish it? Try to keep the right leg and knee solid as you take the club away and fully rotate your shoulders. On the downswing, unwind and rotate through the ball with your hips. Make sure your navel is facing the target at the end of the swing to ensure a full turn. \n\n2. Developing a "Lag" - Successful drivers all have a "lag" in their swing. On the downswing, the wrists must release their energy at some point. When this happens is key. The closer to impact with the ball, the more stored power there will be. Many golfers deliver this source of power near the top of the swing or early on the way down, and end up swinging with just arms at contact. This is commonly called "casting"--the opposite of lag. One drill to improve this is to cock your wrists at the top of the backswing so that there's a right angle between your arm and club. Pull the club down in slow motion, while doing your best to retain this angle. Try to incorporate this into your full swings, and remember to release those wrists through the ball! \n\n3. Swinging with the Whole Body - Some of the biggest muscles in your body are the upper legs and trunk, and you should use them to put power in your swing. On the downswing, your legs should begin the drive and the trunk begins the turn. Also, the bigger muscles have much less chance to twitch under pressure than do the smaller ones. This is why good swingers seem to move effortlessly--the small muscles are being led by the larger ones. This is called "swinging with the whole body." Try it! \n\n4. Left Arm Straight at the Top - Make sure your left arm is kept relatively straight on the backswing to ensure a wide swing arc. Keep some distance between the hands at the top of the swing and your shoulders and head. This produces more club head speed without swinging any harder. Davis Love III and Vijay Singh are great examples of this. Watch them, and internalize what you see!

practice. take lessons. anyone who is giving you any other answer is only giving you advice from their own experience and their swing is different than yours - guaranteed. Like the guy that said go to the gym... i don't go to the gym, i can hit 300 easy. i do have a naturally fast swing speed, but if i used the wrong club, i wouldn't hit as far, so any equipment suggestion would not be that helpful either. if you take lessons, your coach can send you in the right direction. there's no "secret" everyone's looking for a secret that's why golf magazines keep selling. you want to hit farther? maximize club head speed using the shaft and swing speed. easy to say, not so easy to do.

It is always better to start on a range than the golf course for several reasons. First and most important, if you get frustrated on the range, you can just walk away and it only affect you. If you get frustrated on the course you have paid alot of money to just walk off, and the people behind you and with you will be affected. I would suggest working on a swing for about a half hour at a time untill you feel comfortable hitting shots consistantly, then play a round of golf.

There is no easy way, the correct way is with a proper golf swing. This is achieved through hours and hours of practice and lessons with a golf professional.

First, make sure your clubs are custom fit for you; correct length, correct flex, correct loft and lie, correct grip size, correct weight, ie., balanced (are they uniform in feel and play), and more important that your set is made up of clubs that fit your game, ie., no 1 or 2 iron in the bag when you should be hitting a 7 or 5 wood. Second, Where on the golf course are you waisting shots? Work on that part of your game, get help from your golf pro if needed.  Third, Play Play Play Practice Practice Practice. As my Dad once told me, your not going to get any better sitting here on your ass.  So get off your ass and go play, make sure your equipment is right and get help when you need it, the rest while fall into place. HAND Have A Nice Day!!!

I don't know how old you are, but it is never to late too start playing golf. I picked up the game for the first time in my mid 20's. Take a lesson or two, go to the range and then ultimately out on the course. Try and play with friends. You may never win the Masters, but you can certainly get good enough to enjoy yourself and the game. Good Luck.

It depends upon your age as far as the clubs to start off with because they have clubs for children as well as adults.\nYou may want to just start off with a 1,3,and 5 wood set for your woods. As far as your irons, you may want to start off with a set with a 3,5,7, and 9 iron as well as a pitching wedge. Also, find yourself a putter that you are comfortable handling, for putting is a huge part of the sport. As far as balls, you may want to start off with a dozen, along with a towel to wipe your balls and clubs clean with. And also a bag large enough to consume all of your equipment that is the right size for you to carry if you will be carrying your clubs on the course instead of carrying them in a cart.

Scotland...\n\nNobody knows exactly how golf started but most scholars say that the\ngame of golf was from club in German or Dutch, “Kolbe” or “Kolf” and\ngolf started from a man hitting stones with stick instinctively in\nancient days.\n  \nW.G.Simpson explained the origin that golf began by a shepherd on a\nsheep pasture in Fifeshire, which became the Royal and Ancient Golf\nClub of St. Andrews. One day a man was playing with a small stone\nhitting by a stick as usual but then the stone fell into a rabbit hole\nby chance. When he was trying to put a stone in a hole again, his\nfriends saw it and joined together.\n   \nIt also can be said that golf started among the ancient Romans. This\ngame was played with a bent stick and a leather ball filled with\nfeathers. The Roman army conquered Europe bringing the sport them and\ngolf was spread over the European countries.\n  \nThere is another suggestion that “Koven”, a Dutch game, is the origin\nof golf. The game consisted of people trying to hit a stick with a\nminimum of strokes using a ball which was the same size as a\ngrapefruit. 200 years later, golf was established in Scotland.\n  \nMoreover, another opinion is that golf came from the Flemish game of\n“Chole” played in 1353. This game was played by two players hitting\nthe same ball three times each using a stick to reach the far goal.\n  \nThese games are similar to recent golf but not exactly the same. It is\nsure that golf naturally results from such sports as these. Records\nsay that a kind of golf was played in Scotland in the 15th century,\nand it was developed by Scots.
