Beginner training plan
Your first lessonAnalyze their swing. If they've never picked up a club, I start with the very basics. Grip, stance, and ball position. I will then work on swing mechanics. A drill i use for every student, but especially for beginners, is the Ball Takeaway drill. Placing a second golf ball behind the club, the student pushes the ball backwards slowly. From there, they follow through with their swing. This drill helps get the club started on the correct swing path without any unnecessary wrist break or hinge at the beginning of the swing.
Lesson 2-3I will continue to analyze the students swing. Watching for the basics. Making sure the basics and fundamentals are correct. I will use more in depth training aids and drills. If the student contents to being recorded, I will record their swing from different angles. Then play back the videos with the student. Showing each angle and showing frame by frame each correct and incorrect part of the swing. This helps identify areas that need improvement that are not noticeable to the naked eye. Reviewing the videos will help identify causes and effects of the students swing. The videos will then be sent to the student so they can play back their own swing and identify where in their swing needs improvement. I will keep track of yardage for each club to get a baseline of potential for each club.
Lesson 4-10Each lesson will run through key drills to improve basics, fundamentals, and swing mechanics. If each lesson is recorded, we will play back the videos from the previous lesson. This will show a path of progression. From day one to day ten. The student will see themselves improve from each lesson. By identifying areas of needed improvement in each video, this will help the student see for themselves if they've corrected those areas or if they still persist. Adding new drills that will help improve the students areas that need improvement. Yardage will be tracked each lesson to track if yardage has increased for each club. Showing improvement of ball striking.
