Find Out How To Slash Your Golf Score... In One Day !
The casual golfer who would like to brush up their game, and the
person new to it, don't always have the time to commit to a long
course of lessons. For them, a one-day session on the golf
course may be enough to smooth away some rough edges, or in the
case of a new player, it may show them just where they really
need help, and they can enroll in a course or lessons that
address those issues.
Many courses and golf schools will offer a one-day course of
instruction, which may start in the morning or afternoon, and
cover nine holes of their course. Some people prefer being out
in the actual environment of the golf course, and for them, this
session may provide both tips on their game, and a chance to
enjoy the outdoors.
Depending on how the school has structured these sessions, you
may be able to take a private lesson, as a group, or as couples.
Ideally, if you need more focus on some aspects of your game,
either the private or couples lesson is best, as there will be
fewer distractions for both you and the instructor.
Just as in "full" school programs that last several weeks of
lessons and practice, you'll cover golf basics such as the type
of clubs a bag includes, what they are used for, and how to get
the most out of them.
Lessons start as soon as you step up to the tee, with
instruction on how to approach the ball, position your body,
estimate the impact required for a good drive, and body
positioning on both the upswing and follow through.
Once you're onto the fairway, you'll be dealing with the change
from woods to irons, and the situations in which each should be
used. This is also the area where inexperienced golfers, and
even the experts, sometimes find themselves in trouble with the
sand traps and roughs. Your instructor will provide the
strategies, stance, and proper swings to chipping yourself out
of bad spots, as well as how to get the most distance out of a
shot off the rough.
Onto the green, and you'll learn how to make the most of your
putter, taking into consideration the angle of the shot, rises
or dips in the ground, the grass around the cup, and how to
properly estimate the amount of power needed to get the ball to
the flag and not beyond it.
Along with the practical lessons on your clubs, shots and
strategies, most instructors will also touch on the mental
aspect of the game. It's not something just for PGA players, and
even the weekend duffer will benefit from learning to focus and
tune out the world around them.
