Basic Instruction

The all important Basics. Even the Tour players check their basics if things aren't going right.

When you are learning don't try to progress too fast, check back here if you think you are not doing what you have been taught. If you still can't get it right speak to your PGA Pro, develop a good relationship with them and it will pay dividends as you progress.

Don't forget to use the Beginner Statistics section then you can track your improvement and share it with your Pro.
