At the driving range, of course, where you can hit a bucket of balls and nobody (except you) will care if most of your shots are terrible.Most driving ranges also have practice putting greens. Some also feature practice chipping areas and sand bunkers.
Your back yard is another good place to practice a swing, although you obviously don't want to be hitting real golf balls. Try a wiffle golf ball, or just work on the swing mechanics you’ve been learning during lessons.
And then there’s the living room - made to order for putting practice.
Where to Play
Par-3 courses are good choices for beginners. These are generally nine holes, all short par-3s. Executive courses are also shorter than full-sized 18-hole courses.
If you want to try 18 holes on a full-sized course, ask some golfers you know for recommendations. You want courses that are not too lengthy and that don’t have much sand or water. You want a wide open, easy course.
Many beginners don't like to play with a lot of people watching, so ask about crowds, too. Find a course that doesn’t receive a ton of play.
