For learning it, you have to join a Golf Academy, which has all required facilities. Apart from common facilities, academy should have good instructors, where learner can have personal attention.

This is very important for a beginner because he may have lot of questions and unless one gets one to one interaction with instructor, he may not feel comfortable. Getting personalized attention such as one to one, though ideal but may be difficult. Therefore, you should be happy if you get an acceptable ratio of three or four to one.

Instructor Is Key

Learning Golf from an instructor having following traits would be ideal, because he is one who will not only teach you ABCs of game but will take you to next levels one by one.

1.Swing Level

You’ll hear this at every park you go to watch baseball or softball: “Swing Level”. However, it’s not possible to swing level. Think about baseball swing for a moment. Your hands are held high, close to your head. The ball, if it’s a strike, is thrown between your knees and letters. So, how can a swing be level? Well, it can’t be. A correct baseball swing is elliptical; it has a downward motion through contact to create backspin on ball and a high follow through. Great hitters may each have different planes they swing on, but none of them are ever going to be “level”. Let’s stop creating this incorrect mental image for kids.

2.Just Throw Strikes

“Ok Johnny, just throw strikes now; all you have to do is throw strikes.” Any kid who’s pitching is doing his or her best to throw strikes. Especially when a kid is struggling to get ball over dish, you can bet anything they’re not trying to “paint black” or “blow it past” hitters. All they’re trying to do is “throw strikes”. Pitching is greatest pressure cooker in all of youth sports. When a kid is on bump, he’s all alone and entire team is depending on them to throw strikes. When a pitcher is struggling, they may have a basic mechanical flaw or they might be nervous. Stating obvious and telling them that sky is blue isn’t going to help them throw strikes. What it will do is make them stop “pitching”, change their mechanics even more, and try to “aim” ball.

3.Practice Makes Perfect

We’ve talked about this before, but it’s worth emphasizing again. Ask any kid what practice makes and they’ll tell you: “Practice Makes Perfect!” Of course, practice doesn’t make perfect, it makes PERMANENT! Repetition creates muscle memory. If you practice wrong motion over and over again, what kind of motion are you creating? Breaking a bad habit is very, very hard. It’s crucial that parents and coaches spot flaws quickly so that they aren’t repeated. Of course, that means that a parent or coach needs to know right way to do things. Please, get some instructional books and tapes (LINK TO INSTRUCTION SECTION). If you’re going to volunteer to coach, make sure that you’re not passing along same bad habits that you learned. It takes about 1,500 repetitions to turn a bad habit into a repeatable good habit. It’s a lot easier to just do it right in first place.

4.Bad Game

Sportsmanship is something that every kid, parent and coach should be always be aware of. In our baseball league, we’ve instituted a new Code of Conduct that requires good sportsmanship and enforces penalties, including suspensions and expulsion, for violations. After game, each kid should congratulate each person on other team. Even in jest, nobody should ever tell another kid: “Bad Game”. As a coach or a parent, if you hear it, please stop it.

5.Keep Your Back Elbow Up
