There's a lot to learn for new golfers, and those who are
looking to improve their game. Some of the areas you'll
receive instruction on, are:
1 Approaching the tee: It sounds simple, but if you watch
the professionals, they do it the same every time.
Consistency in preparation gives you a solid beginning to
the game. A professional will teach you the basics, but
you'll develop the style that gives you the most comfort
and best mental attitude.
2 Preparation: Everything from lining up the shot, to
grip, stance and breathing. How to tee up, using a club to
align your shot, and tuning out the distractions around
you. Then how and where to make contact with the ball for
the furthest and most accurate drive.
3 The swing: The drive off the tee is going to set up your
progression for the entire hole. Getting power behind it
can be one of the most important aspects to your swing.
You'll learn how to use your body to "wind up", facing the
tee at a 90 degree angle to the direction of your drive,
then swinging back with your right arm until the left is
straight, and the upper body only is turning slightly to
the right. The downswing puts the power behind the ball as
you make contact with the wood, and continue on through
with your body, until your abdomen faces the direction of
the hole.
4 Putting it on the fairway: Blowing the first shot isn't
the end of your game. But it can make recovery a lot
harder. You'll be taught how to visualize your shot going
where you want, and how to maintain your balance on the
follow through, so that a last minute bobble, doesn't make
a dog leg out of your drive.
5 Making mid-distance shots: How to use your irons for the
best chance of getting on the green and closer to the cup.
Recovering from a bad position on the fairway, and getting
back into position for making a birdie shot.
6 The tough shots: Instructors will show you how to deal
with the shots that go wrong, and land you in the rough, or
a sand trap. Good sand shots are possible when you learn
how to adjust swing speed, and the angle at which your club
face connects to the ball. Roughing it out of a tough spot
can also be a matter of consistency in how you approach the
shot, including standing closer so there is less chance of
contacting grass on the downswing, opening up the club face
for more loft, and remembering that hitting off a rough is
going to take away your backspin.
7 Putting it in the cup: A putting primer that will teach
you how to approach a shot on the green, no matter what the
angle, rise, or grass that's between you and the flag.
