I got my wife into golf with a simple comment. She had the option of putting the time in at the range to get to the point where she could hit the ball consistently, at which point we would start playing on the course, or she could become a golf widow like her mother. Two days later she was signed up for lessons, and a couple of weeks later I had her out on the course. Other than that you need to get her a set of women's clubs this will make a world of difference, and while best ball and not keeping score is nice in a non competitive person if your g/f is anything like my wife she will play more within the rules than half the guys on the course. My wife has yet to take a mully, takes the proper penalty for every shot, and putts out on every hole. She has yet to break 110, but she wouldn't have it any other way, and believe me I have tried. Then the last and most important piece of advice I can give, while you are on the course keep the mouth shut unless it is to say "Nice shot," "Good Ball," or otherwise coach her ball as you would your own. Comments about swings, stance, grip, etc. will not be welcome and more than likely will land you on the couch for the night. Other than that have fun.
