Though Musselburgh, Scotland is home to The Old Links, oldest golf course in the world, golf is rumored to have begun in the Netherlands in 1297. After seven hundred years it still follows the same basic premise: hit a ball into a hole using a stick; the person who gets it in the least number of hits, wins. Today, a golfer may have any number of sticks, called clubs, made up of wood, graphite, or titanium. Each club has a specific use depending on the type, whether it’s the driver for an opening long ball, the wedge for shots out of the sand trap, the putter for the last short shot into the hole, or a variety of irons for anything in between.
The game starts with the first player placing a ball on a tee and driving it hundreds of yards down the fairway. Therefore, having a proper and efficient swing is one of the most important aspects of your golf game. Techniques for gripping and swinging confound even PGA tour golfers sometimes. And even if they hit a lucky shot down the fairway, many golfers don’t know how to reproduce the same great results over and over.
In these free golf instruction videos, learn how to improve the fundamentals of your golf swing, with tips and lessons on different types of clubs—hybrids, long putters, drivers—training equipment and practice techniques, how to account for the course in ball placement, and golfing strategies to help lower your handicap.
