Learn about putting, chipping, pitching and the full stroke performed with irons, which leads into the big long drive. Amaze your golfing buddies by making some basic specialty shots that are also easy to learn. The basics are presented with putting being first. This goes against all traditional methods of teaching, where driving is taught first. Since half the game is putting, why not learn it first? Plus, it's fun to be able to put the ball in the hole on your first lesson! Other basics covered are fitting your clubs to get the most out of them by making the clubs personally fit you, and you'll also get a quick overlook of the rules and etiquette of the game. Take some practice drills and you'll be all ready in no time for the greens.
