The best way to learn how to play golf is from a qualified coach. You will be taught not just to hit the ball - but how to hit the ball properly! Starting with the right grip (the correct way to hold a club), you will be shown how to 'address' the ball so that you can putt, chip, or pitch the ball. When you address the ball, you line yourself up with the target and move toward the ball with the correct club. Posture, body position and the correct movements are all important. The movements that you learn, are put together to make 'the swing'. Golfers spend hours practising their swing as it is such an important part of the game.

The Full Swing If you want to practise your swing, a golf range is ideal. Here, you can practise hitting lots of balls onto an open stretch of land. Try various positions and grips to see which are comfortable and practise different shots, rather than just hitting the ball as far as you can. | ||||||||||||||
Golf EtiquetteGolf etiquette is all about doing the right thing on a course. It is important for your enjoyment and the that of other golfers. Some rules of etiquette are also there for everyone's safety - a well struck golf ball can do a lot of damage to someone who gets in its way!
