Golf is a great activity for retired persons. It allows you to stretch your legs to keep the circulation going. It is great cardio exercise, especially if you are playing on an uneaven course. Plau, don't forget about the fact that it is a social sport that can get you out of the house for at least a few hours.
For gold, you need to buy a set of clubs, a golf bag, and golf balls. Some courses also require you to wear golf shoes, so it is usually a good idea to purchase those as well. Other courses might require you do follow dress regulations, so pay attention to those.
When you factor in the equipment that you have to have for golf, one can easily see how it can get expensive. Once you factor in the cost to play 18 holes on a course, it gets even more expensive.
As someone who has golfed for years, I usually tell new players to buy second-hand clubs first. Make sure that you like the game first before making the big investment in it. You can buy used sets at Play It Again Sports, or at some golf pro shops, but there are cheaper places that you can find them. Garage sales, thrift stores, and pawn shops usually have sets of clubs and bags for decent prices.
Once you have your clubs, go to the driving range to make sure that you can hit the ball. Learn the tips that you need to before ever venturing out on the course. The people teeing off behind you would not want to wait for someone that has never stuck a ball before, so get in a decent amount of strokes before heading out.
