Say you're 35 or 45 years old and you've never played golf. With the right teacher and time to play or practice three times a week, you could be able to make a good showing when you're out with people who have played casually for many years.

Ron Stepanek, head of player development for the PGA, says almost anyone can learn to break 100 in five or six months. Someone with decent hand-eye coordination and any kind of athletic experience could probably be breaking 90.

With the agreement to take lessons for five or six months, a teacher and student have the time to master each fundamental and in the right order before progressing. (If anyone else wants to give you golf tips, ignore them.)

The instructors say committed beginners make faster progress because they have the least to unlearn.

A program called 6/90, designed by former PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beman costs only $249 for eight weekly lessons in groups of four. It's held at Cannon Ridge Golf Club in Fredericksburg, Va.

Beginners start with putting and chipping. Once they understand what well-hit shots feel like at that level, they build up to full-swing shots. The Wall Street Journal's John Paul Newport says three of the six instructors he interviewed started with the short game.

He recommends relying on word of mouth to find an instructor, scheduling a trial lesson, and talking about your goals to determine whether the connection is right.
