Millions of people hit the links to play golf recre- ationally, and many young stars of the game are inspir- ing others to try their hand at this difficult sport. In its "U.S. Golf Econo- my Report," released in 2018, WE ARE GOLF, a coali- tion of golf's governing bod- ies, found there was a 20 per- cent increase in junior golf participation in the five years between 2011 and 2016. Plus, there were 2.5 million golfers who played for the first time in 2016, up from 1.5 million in 2011. Even more exciting for the indus- try is non-golfers interested in playing golf doubled to 12.8 million. There has never been a better time to play golf. However, to the uninitiated, golf can be complicated. There are many different rules and all sorts of equip- ment to learn and lingo to follow. In fact, the experts at Golf Digest say that some people can be scared off even before they hit the green. Fortunately, all it takes is a little research to get started on learning about and ultimately embracing the game of golf. Here are six ways to get started. 1. Start off on a practice range and not on the golf course. The range is a great place to acclimate oneself to the game and practice your swings. 2. Hook up with some- one who can show you the ropes. Going it alone can tame feelings of embarrass- ment from being new to the game. However, having someone in your corner guiding you can make it eas- ier to learn and love the game. Work with a local golf pro or enlist the help of a friend or family member with some golfing experi- ence. 3. Learn all you can about the clubs, including which kinds are used for various types of shots. While a golfer is allowed to carry as many as 14 clubs in a bag, you will not need that many when first starting out, nor do you have to invest thousands of dollars in a set of clubs. It's possible to find used clubs online if you want to try the sport before committing. 4. Lean toward more loft when selecting clubs. Look for drivers that have at least 10 degrees of loft and fair- way woods that start at 17 degrees, offers Golf Digest. This will make it easier for beginners to get the ball into the air and can reduce sidespin so shots fly more straight. 5. Pay attention to short shots as well as the long ones. Spend as much time practicing with wedges and the putter as the driver to really tighten up all of your shots. 6. Learn the proper grip and stance by working with a coach. Invest in a glove to avoid callused hands, as you'll be spending signifi- cant time practicing. With these tips, novice golfers can get on the road to developing a great golf game relatively quickly. Golf for beginners Riding a bicycle is not only a great way to help the planet by reducing vehicle emissions, but it's also an ideal physical activity. According to Harvard Uni- versity, biking at a moderate speed of 12 to 13.9 miles per hour will cause a 155-pound person to burn 298 calories in 30 minutes. At a faster rate of 14 to 15.9 miles per hour, a person of the same weight will burn 372 calo- ries. People can ride bikes at any time of year, but cycling is most popular when tem- peratures are moderate and precipitation is low. Bike rid- ing has always been in fash- ion, but it experienced a boost in popularity when people were asked to remain socially distant for COVID- 19. Walks and bike rides at a safe distance from others became popular and accessi- ble ways to get fresh air and exercise. Anyone who rides a bike needs to take certain precau- tions. Cyclists often share the roads with large and powerful cars and trucks. The National Highway Traf- fic Safety Administration warns there were 857 cyclists killed in traffic crashes in the United States in 2018. Safety is a two-way street, requiring diligence by drivers and bike riders. • Bike riders should be dressed in bright clothing so they can be seen. A well-fit- ting bicycle helmet is a must, and should be worn every time a bike is ridden. • Ride a bike that fits you well. If the bike is too big, it can be difficult to control. • Safe Kids suggest using hand signals to alert others to your plans. Cyclists can extend the left arm out for a left turn; make a 90-degree angle with the left arm to indicate a right turn. Putting the left arm down with the palm facing backward indi- cates stopping or slowing. Cycling safety is impor- tant as temperatures rise and more cyclists are on the road. Enjoy safe bike rides
