Lesson 4-10Lessons 4–10 focus on turning a beginner golfer into a player who can confidently navigate the course by building short game skill, swing consistency, and on-course awareness. The progression starts with chipping and pitching fundamentals to develop touch and distance control around the greens, followed by putting lessons centered on speed control, green reading, and creating a reliable routine. Players are then introduced to bunker play and recovery shots to build confidence from difficult lies. As the series continues, full swing mechanics are refined through improved rotation, sequencing, balance, and shot shape awareness while introducing more advanced clubs and shot selection. On-course lessons emphasize course management, pre-shot routine, club selection, and decision-making so the golfer learns how to think through each hole strategically rather than simply hitting shots. The final stages focus heavily on scoring skills inside 100 yards, pressure situations, and combining all learned fundamentals into real playing scenarios, ending with a full evaluation of strengths, weaknesses, and a personalized development plan for continued improvement.
