How and where to try out golf
I’m seeking suggestions for beginning golf for a teenager. Weekend and/or summer opportunities in the East Bay? Golf courses have been open during COVID but not sure what is happening or will happen with lessons. Thanks for any ideas.

Hi,
I'm not sure about lessons, but my teenager has gotten the golf bug too! He and a couple of friends (one who actually knows the game, the others don't) started going to the driving range at public courses about a month ago and now they're all hooked. I think they learned enough from the friend who plays to start playing 9 holes, occasionally 18, and they love it. My son bought a set of used clubs for $40 and set up a spot in the back yard to practice his swing. It's a great Covid activity: outdoors, easy to distance and masks on. Maybe put the word out on NextDoor or elsewhere to see if another teen golfer could show your teen the ropes?
