Tips For New Golfers- Part 2.

Hi everyone, hope you are all well. Hopefully you will have had a chance to read yesterday's post and, also hopefully, it made sense to you! Basically, what I'm saying is you can get good quality golf clubs, that suit you, for not a lot of money.

On to today's topic which is golf instruction. You have bought your clubs, so what you want now is to be able to use them effectively. You need to have a smooth, repeating swing to be able to enjoy your game. We're not even talking about competing yet, but to enjoy it. So that you want to go back.

Now, there are many forms of golf instruction available today and a lot of them are available for free on the internet. There are also many programmes available for sale, of which I have bought many, and generally I would have to say that in my experience, the golf aid that you pay for is a better product than free golfing lessons. But do still look on-line for an aid that will benefit you.

But my number one suggestion for any new golfer to get golf instruction would be to visit a professional golf instructor. To me, this is a no-brainer. A PGA golf instructor will get you set up correctly, from how you stand to how you swing your clubs. You need to have the basics right, and by visiting a qualified instructor to achieve this will really be money well spent. There will be times on the course when you need to know golfing etiquette, or you need to know the rules. These are all things your golfing friends can help you with. But getting you set up correctly, from your stance, to shoulder turn, to transferring your weight, this is where a good instructor is worth his weight in gold. Getting into good habits from the start will have you enjoying your golf for life.

Also, I just touched on the subject of rules above, but it is a good idea to have some understanding of them. The R&A website has some free publications available, so have a look HERE and get your copy.

And,after you have had a few lessons from your local professional you feel you might like to try something extra to bring your scores down, a website that I can recommend is THIS ONE. Have a look and see if it could benefit you.

Happy Golfing.
