Beginner training plan
Your first lessonStart with an introduction to golf basics: grip, stance, and posture. Use the “Two-Knuckle Grip” drill to ensure a proper hold (aim for seeing two knuckles on the left hand). Practice a simple pendulum swing with a 7-iron, focusing on smooth motion. End with a fun putting exercise on a flat surface to build confidence.
Lesson 4-10Progress to different clubs (e.g., driver, irons), focusing on the “Half-Swing Drill” to improve consistency. Introduce bunker play with the “Splash Shot Drill” and start short-game practice (e.g., pitching). Expect to develop a basic swing routine, play a few holes, and receive feedback on pace and strategy.
Lesson 2-3Build on the first lesson by introducing the full swing with a 7-iron, incorporating the “Alignment Stick Drill” to check body alignment. Introduce chipping with a wedge, using the “Pitch and Stop” drill to control distance. Expect to refine grip and stance while adding basic course etiquette.
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen teaching kids, I adapt my lessons to be fun and engaging, using games and activities that make learning enjoyable. I focus on building a strong foundation in the basics while incorporating age-appropriate drills and exercises that keep their interest and energy levels high. Patience and encouragement are key, as I strive to create a positive and supportive environment where young players feel confident and excited to learn.
