Golf Lessons at TPC Danzante Bay

Golf is a technical game. For the rare few, the golf swing is intuitive. For everyone else, lessons from a teaching professional are required to get off to a good start.

Why are golf lessons so important for beginners? There are three main reasons. First, novices need to master the basics–grip, stance, posture and alignment—before attempting to hit the ball. Second, good mechanics help players avoid injuries (and bad habits). Third, proper instruction will dramatically increase your chances of success.

Learning How to Play the Proper Way

By enrolling in the Beginners Golf Academy at TPC Danzante Bay, novices can absorb the fundamentals and build a good foundation. Golf is a target game: the object is to advance the ball from the tee to the green and roll it into the hole in the fewest number of strokes. Players with good technique can free themselves to focus on where they want the ball to go, as opposed to worrying about the do’s and don’ts. With the basics ingrained, the idea is to quiet the mind, trust the process and let the body execute the swing.

Here are a few helpful tips for beginners. Understand from the get-go that golf is a challenging game. The learning curve can be steep. Also, what feels ‘natural’ may be technically incorrect. The flight of the ball will give you instant feedback, and signal what if any swing adjustments need to be made. Each shot is an opportunity to learn, grow and become a better golfer. Keep it simple. Enjoy the journey.

Finding the Right Swing Shape & Tempo

Remember, no two swings are alike. Develop a swing that fits your physique. For example, a tall slim player will have a more upright swing plane than a shorter, stouter golfer.

Find a tempo that reflects your personality. If you walk fast and talk fast, you’re likely going to swing fast. If you’re more deliberate in your words and actions, you’ll tend to have a slower, more rhythmic swing. Fast or slow, the key is to stay balanced throughout the swing, especially at the finish.

Finally, don’t get discouraged. Stay optimistic. There will be times when you feel like you’re not improving. Golf can be an exasperating game, but stay patient and it will always reward you.
