hi guys ,
my mate and his wife want to take up the game.. (she has co-ordination & he doesn’t .. and he also has a dodgy leg ha ha i think he will be in trouble , )
but before they head off for lessons, i wanted to give them some idea, something read and drills to do.. – so i thought golf school articles.
but which ones first, is there an order i should feed them in? ones on grip first?

any help appreciated
cheers

From the oldest one to the newest is a pretty good idea. So Fix Your Swing Parts 1 and 2 are a great place to start. If they get an idea of where it all has to go, then the grips etc are easy enough later on.

yeah, if they’re online get them to read the golf school articles, if not, print off the golf school articles for them.

Seems a few have asked for a “print” option for all the articles. It is in the pipeline.

A happier start I cannot imagine.

thanks….

I would argue that teaching them a proper grip before all else is essential to any form of success.

It will be the devils own job to get them to change later if they adopt a grip of their own invention.

Anecdote:

I was at the British Ladies Open at Sunningdale last week. In the tented village the Sponsors were running £5, 15 minute, golf lessons with the proceeds going to charity.

I watched a Pro trying to coach a lad out of a chicken wing finish to his swing for the entire 15 minutes, without even the beginnings of success.

Afterwards I asked the Pro why he had not commented on the lads grip and he replied “best to fix the chicken wing first”.

I said that I thought that the chicken wing was a natural consequence of the lads poor grip and virtually unavoidable.

“Never thought of that”, was the Pro’s reply!!!

Another pro on his way to a P45:)

Seems a few have asked for a “print” option for all the articles. It is in the pipeline.

I find using “Ctrl & P” works just fine for printing the pages. You get a few extra pages with the ads on them but its not the end of the world
