First of all, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!!!!!!!
Are you gonna make a square or round cake?
Go to photo gallery and look up golfing. The pictures there should give you some great ideas.
I did only one golf cake, it was square. The sides were white and the top green with sand traps and dips in the frosting to resemble a golf course. I used a grass tip and edged the top of the cake with green grass. I used plastic flags and a plastic golf ball and iron. I wrote in black and decorated the sides with golf balls "flying through the air". It's simple and it was nice.
Good luck on your cake!

I have one in my photos with a sports ball ban on a 9X13. I had the grass tip and put his fav sport's team in royal icing on the ball. You can look and if you have ??'s just ask. YOu can pm me if you need to. It's pretty easy though

I was going to do a square cake. How would I go about making a golf ball or do they sell little plastic one's? The only cake decorating store around in my area is a Micheal's. Thanks for the tips and ideas I really appreciate it!!!

make a cake in a smooth bundt or angle food cake pan and use the hole in the pan to your advantage. Make the top green grass add a ball and flag and your there, plain and simply but cute....

Hey tonenia, great idea about the hole in the middle!!!
You can make it look like that there is a ball suspended in mid-air by using a papertowel cardboard!
The ball just won't go in--it just hovers above!!!
Use a toy galf ball. They are much lighter!!!
Maybe I'll do this for my own dad!!!
Good Luck on your cake sarb21!!!!
