Question 1

I have never played before — is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Complete beginners are welcome. Lessons start from the very basics and move at a pace that feels comfortable.

Question 2

Do I need my own clubs?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. If you have clubs, bring them. If you do not, you can still start and Ronnie will explain what is worth buying before you spend money.

Question 3

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Something comfortable and weather-appropriate, with trainers or golf shoes if you have them. Nobody expects a beginner to arrive fully kitted out.

Question 4

What if I am nervous?

Accepted Answer

That is very common. Ronnie is used to helping nervous first-timers and keeps lessons calm, encouraging, and easy to follow.

Question 5

Can older beginners start too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Plenty of adults start later in life. The goal is a comfortable first lesson and a sensible pace, not trying to look like an experienced golfer straight away.

Question 6

Do I need to know the rules first?

Accepted Answer

No. You can start without knowing the rules or golf etiquette. Ronnie will guide you through what matters as you go.

Question 7

Are lessons suitable for children?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Junior coaching is patient, encouraging and structured for children who are new to golf or still building confidence.

Question 8

Can Ronnie help if I have played a bit but still feel like a beginner?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. A lot of golfers have tried golf before but still want someone to explain the basics more clearly and help them feel more confident.

Question 9

How many lessons will I need?

Accepted Answer

That depends on your goals. Many beginners start with a first lesson, practise a little, then come back for follow-ups to build confidence and consistency.

Question 10

Where do lessons take place?

Accepted Answer

Lessons are based at Ravenspark Golf Course in Irvine, Ayrshire.

Question 11

How do I book?

Accepted Answer

Use the enquiry form or call Ronnie directly. If you are unsure what to ask, simply say who the lesson is for and whether you have ever played before.
