318.0. "HELP FOR A BEGINNER" by GORT::MACKINNON () Tue Jul 05 1988 12:42

    
    Hello golfers
    
    	I would like to learn how to play golf, but I don't want to
    learn from my boyfriend (neither of us has the patience). Does anyone
    know of a place in the Greater Boston area that teaches golf?  I
    would like to keep travel time to less than one hour.

    e                               Also, do I need a set of clubs
    or can I rent a set. I plan on buying a set after the lessons.
    	Are there any resources listing the courses in my area?
    If so how can I get them?

    	Hi Michele,
    
    	I take it from your node address that you work in Salem, right?
    	If so, the pro at Hoodkroft in Derry gives lessons (434-0651).
    	I would think that you would be able to use some renatl clubs
    	there. They also give indoor lessons at Sea Coast Golf in
    	Manchester (668-2272). Most of the courses have pros available
    	to give lessons...
    
    	Good luck...
    	Gene

318.3And just where is Boston???USWAV3::FAGERBERGWed Jul 06 1988 17:1510
    
      Mi,
    
        Near Boston takes in a lot of Geography.  Be more specific.
    If you are near Rte 128 and 138, take 138 south toward Canton,
    Andy Moss is a good teaching pro, will lend clubs, and are very
    accomodating.  Call the Blue Hills Country Club and ask for the
    Pro Shop.  The pro is Vinnie Del Zoppo.
    
      Good luck!

      Andy Moss just won the Massachusetts Open.  He is not only a good
    golfer but really knows the mechanics of a swing and is able to
    teach them.  Can recommend him highly enough!!
