    First before you go onto a course spend at least two weeks at a driving range with an instructor for at least one hour per week and if possible try to practice a couple hours per day everyday for a couple weeks, unless your a natural like Bubba Watson which is very, very rare! The instructor will show you the the proper way to warm up, which club to start with and many other tips that will save you a lot of time, frustration and prevent you from developing bad habits which in some cases have caused many new golfers to quit with in a short time of starting the game, because golf is a very difficult, tough, and dedicated game, and you are your only team, so your success is only your responsibility win or lose! Once you become adept on the course you will naturally want to get better each time you play and as you do the satisfaction you will feel is like throwing a 60yd. touchdown pass to win the game! This is my personal view, please be open to others who may criticize it and have other suggestions for you.

    Billy,

    Don't know your age, height , and weight, so swinging and advice will be difficult to a new golfer.  If you're really serious about learning the game of golf, the best advice is.... TAKE LESSONS.  

    Being a new golfer, find a pro who is willing to give you a set of lessons maybe 5-6.  I think there is a thing called Golf Ready. They should take you through the basics.  Take notes.  The normal human being will retain very little in a 45 minute lesson.  After that, its practice, practice, practice.

    I see that you are from North Dakota, so your window of opportunity is between April until late October I would guess.  In the other months it will be keeping in shape somehow, swinging the club in the garage and putting on the carpet indoors.

     I would also join a group of guys who will play to have fun, don't care that your playing is new,  accept you as a new golfer, and also who will mentor you.  Next thing is to join or go to the USGA home page to read about the rules of golf.  This is a Gentlemen/Ladies game that we all respect God's Green earth and our fellow Human Beings.

    You will love it or hate it.  It will bring the best of you or the worst of you.  The main thing is to have fun, build on successes, set goals, and get better every time as you accomplish each goal.  We all love this game, and having Titleist equipment helps in the equation.

    Good Luck and have FUN.  Hope this helps.

    1.  Go learn from a PGA professional and not through your friends.   At your entry level, the guys you play with will not be giving you good advice.  

    2.  Learn the rules of golf.  You will enjoy the game more when you understand how it is to be played and they can improve your game.  

    3.  Practice, practice, practice.

    4.  Have fun and enjoy the game.

    5.  Respect others by keeping pace and allowing other to play through.  

    6.  Watch the language.  Be a gentleman at all times.  

    7.  Respect the course by leaving it in better condition than you found it.  Rake bunkers, repair balls marks on greens and replace divot on fairways.

    8.  Always dress appropriately.  Take pride in the game of golf.  

    Remember you are playing Titleist and representing Team Titleist.  Good golfing.  :-)

    Billy, Besides being in full agreement with Mark T, which clubs to use will come with experience. The hardest lesson for us knuckleheads is hitting a 7 or 8 iron 150 yards one time and forever more pulling that club from 150 yards. One sure way to learn this is to pull that club when you need 145 yards to carry a water hazard. It shouldn't take too many times watching the water splash to figure that out. Course management is more than just ripping the driver on the tee box. Learning the game of golf will help you know which club to use.

    I agree with the comments stated. The best advice is to talk to a pro, get comfortable with his teaching methods and take lessons from him. You want to get a sound foundation to your game from which you can build. Also, be cautious as to advice from friends. They will know that you are new to the game they love and want to try to help you along the way. They won't, however, know what your pro is telling you. Oh yeah - and practice, practice, practice but with a purpose. hitting balls for the sake of hitting balls might just ingrain bad habits. and welcome to your new addiction Steve

    My Titleist clubs didn't come with instruction either.  But don't worry, they are so good they seem to find fairways and greens all by themselves.
