Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIntroduction to the Game
We’ll kick things off with a laid-back intro to the game. I’ll walk you through how golf works, what to expect on the course, and the basic rules and etiquette you’ll need to feel comfortable out there.
• We’ll take a look at the course layout — tee box, fairway, rough, greens, and all the spots you’ll be playing from.
• I’ll show you the different clubs, what they’re used for, and how to choose the right one for each shot.
• Then we’ll dive into the fundamentals: grip, stance, posture, and alignment. You’ll learn how to set up properly and swing with balance and rhythm.
• We’ll start hitting short irons and wedges, focusing on making solid contact and building good habits right away.
• We’ll finish with some basic chipping and putting just to introduce you to how the short game feels.
This first lesson is all about laying the groundwork so you feel confident moving forward. (2-3hrs recommended)
Lesson 11+On-Course Evaluation and Next Steps
Once we’ve covered the essentials, it’s time to take it to the course and see how it all holds up in a real round.
• We’ll play together (or I’ll observe) while you go through 9 holes — giving you a chance to apply everything we’ve worked on.
• I’ll pay attention to how you manage the course, make decisions, and handle tough spots.
• From there, we’ll pinpoint what’s working well and where you could still use a bit of fine-tuning.
Everyone’s golf journey is different, so after this point, it really becomes about you — your goals, your pace, and how much time you want to commit to improving. Whether it’s getting consistent off the tee, breaking 100, or just enjoying the game more, we’ll build a plan around what you need.
Lesson 4-10Refining the Full Swing + On-Course Preparation
This is where things really start coming together. You’ve got the basics down, now it’s time to clean up the full swing and get ready for actual on-course play.
• We’ll work on refining your swing mechanics — focusing on balance, tempo, and better ball striking.
• I’ll help you fix common issues like slices, topping, or inconsistent contact.
• We’ll start hitting longer clubs, including hybrids, fairway woods, and driver — working on control and power.
• You’ll learn how to hit from uneven lies, make smart decisions under pressure, and develop a routine you can trust.
• I’ll walk you through how to manage your way around the course — club selection, risk vs. reward, and how to stay in control mentally.
• As we wrap up this section, we’ll simulate a round or play a short course to put everything into action.
By this point, you’ll be ready to play a 9-hole round with confidence and a game plan.
