Golf Instruction

If you’re a beginning golfer, you have probably been told a thousand beginner golf tips. This is because some people like to help and others like to show off about how much they know �” or think they know. Instead of listening to random strangers at the driving range or friends at a dinner party, take the following advice. The best tip for a beginner is to go to the driving range and start with a 9-iron. Do not, under any circumstances, move to an 8-iron until you have hit ten perfect 9-irons in a row. Do the same with the 8-iron. Eventually, you will get to the driver. But this will take time, as in more than one session at the driving range. The goal is to get to a point where you have mastered each club, one at a time. At that point, you will be ready for the real thing.

Beginner golf tips are intended to instill a solid action for the player who has not developed a well-rounded golf game. Golf is a sport that, as one begins to learn the ins and outs, gets complex and intricate. Beginners golf tips should teach the beginning player only how to swing the club for consistent contact. Skipping instruction over consistent contact is detrimental for players who choose to bite off more than they can chew. Often, players will focus on swinging like the players they watch on television or learning from a book that they were given, without starting from the basic swing fundamentals. Drawing the club back and swinging on plane while hitting the sweet spot are critical instruction.
