I signed up for 3 months golf lessons in Puchong, as a female golfer.

It took place in Bandar Kinrara Golf Club.

RM1,600 for 3 months. Unlimited Class. Available from 8am – 5pm Tuesday to Sunday. Venue at Bandar Kinrara. Full stop. Oh wait, there’s a McDonald right opposite, which is a plus point.

1. Coach Riley

I met Coach Riley at Bukit Jalil driving range few years back.

I was hitting a ball, but the ball barely fly from the mat. Sometimes it embarrassedly stay on the bat after I swing the club.

There Coach Riley saw me, and he offered me a few tips and I started to see my ball flying high and far. All happened within an hour.

I didn’t even compare price when I signed him up.

Right after, I purchased a RM650 second hand golf set at Carousell, female Mizuno, then started to get know of this wondrous sport.

2. As a female golfer

Male to female is about 8:2 or 7:3 in the academy. There are a lot of kids under age 12 as well. The academy is definitely female friendly.

3. How long till I’m ready to play in the golf course?

I paid for 6 months to get ready. I signed up the first 3 months, then I stopped for 5 months just to practice, mould things into place. At 9th month I signed up for the second package, fine tuning so I can play with my husband and other male golfer.

So it total taken me a year.

Few years later, I signed up another package, because it was fun.

Sports accessories are like car accessories, the range are wide. There’s driver that’s 18k gold plated, and 10 ringgit driver cushion cover, so you won’t shine us blind.

5. About clothing rule

I suggest a visit to MST Golf Women Apparel website. Or even better, pay a physical visit. There’s one along Federal highway (JALAN 222), and another one near Sunway Pyramid.

Or check out Golfer / YouTuber Gevevieve Ling and check out what she wears to play in Malaysia Golf course. You know our weather.

6. Do you need a membership?

Not as a beginner. Yes for a long term golfer.

7. Is it weird to play alone?

No.

As your skills build up, you’ll attract people to play together.

Also it’s a very common sport among Koreans women.
