For beginner I always start with the same pre-lesson interview. I then explain the game and the equipment and the learning process. I suggest the following 4-lesson format: • Lesson 1: I begin the lesson with a tour of a hole and give an overview of the rules. I then help them understand the equipment and how each club is used to control distance and trajectory. We then cover putting basics. Through putting, I introduce the basic posture and alignment skills that will be used for all shots. • Lesson 2: I review putting and cover the basics of chipping. The most important concepts here are the importance of the grip for face control and compression (hitting down on the ball to make it go up). • Lesson 3: I review chipping and cover pitching. The pitch stroke involves added power from wrist hinge and requires body rotation toward the target on the forward swing and a grip that produces a square face at impact. • Lesson 4: We cover full-swing fundamentals for irons, hybrids, fairway metals and driving. Ball position, posture and alignment are paramount to ball striking.
