FIND A GOOD TEACHING PRO

You should approach golf the same way you approach anything else – with knowledge and repetition. It is true that in golf there are many different magazines and books and pros that endorse different tips and game improvement approaches. You somehow have to fight through all the bad information (yes, there is lots out there) to get to the good stuff.

A good pro should always be able to provide you with a steady, building-block process, instead of the ‘tip of the week’ approach. If you can’t afford regular lessons to maintain your game, then you should do the next best thing and purchase a good book or two. My two personal favourites are; Smash & Carve Golf (naturally) and my idol Ben Hogan’s ‘Five Lessons’. Adding a good short game book would complete your study material. From there, get on -- and stay on -- a regular practice program.
