Getting started
Where to start when you have never held a club: green fees, first lessons, the gear you actually need, and how a Golf Canada handicap works. No jargon, no assumptions.
Grip and set-up: free fixes, and cold hands
Two knuckles, hips back, clubface aimed before the body. And why squeezing a cold grip in April costs you distance.
Membership or green fees in a five-month season
A club that opens in mid-May sells you four and a half months. Count the rounds you really play before you sign.
Playing as a visitor on Canadian courses
Access, handicap, reciprocal rights and what the rate includes. One call to the pro shop settles most of it.
Junior golf: twilight rates and what keeps a child playing

How to start playing golf in Canada: lessons, Golf Canada and public courses
Lessons before equipment, a Handicap Factor through Golf Canada, and the municipal courses that make the short season affordable.
