Recently, she posted a picture on Instagram, where she was at the Scottsdale National Golf Club. Of course, Patrick could not just drop in whenever she felt like it. This was because the Scottsdale National Golf Club was an invitation-only club, so she must have had an invitation. Danica Patrick wrote, “I decided I want to get good at golf. Today was the first time I ever practiced… and I liked it. Yes, I lined up the balls for rapid ish fire.”

Meanwhile, the other camp were people who were offering advice for her to improve her game. One person noticed her posture and advised, “Straighten your back”. Another said, “Try not to lock your right knee on the back swing. Otherwise, very good!”. Some also acknowledged, “Looking good, when u get a chance check out Tiger Woods new venture, he has built a new golf course. Looks great from the pictures”. Finally, “Pretty good move! Little steep coming down into the ball, a little hip rotation on the way back would help solve that, but solid place to start!”
