One of the most asked questions by beginner golfers is how do I get started?
I thought I’d share with you the exact formula I teach to all my new golf clients.
Step 1:
Obtain access to equipment by purchasing or hiring clubs from a friend or golf facility.
Step 2:
Telephone the local course or driving range and find out the opening hours and ask if you may go and practice.
Step 3:
Go to the range with your equipment and ask for a small bucket of balls, practice the steps from my book or any advice from a PGA Professional. When it is time to swing, be sure to make small swings to obtain solid contact with the ball.
Step 4:
When you can consistently hit more than 70 yards and always make contact with the ball. (No missed shots)
You can try and play a short course or the local public course. Allow a few hours for this. Try and play later in the
afternoon if you are concerned about drawing attention to yourself. Most golfers will be happy to see you because we all started where you are now.
Step 5:
Repeat step 3 & 4 for 2 consecutive weeks then evaluate your progress.
I hope this helps
