Getting Started in Golf

Many golf clubs and driving ranges in Scotland have a PGA Professional offering his or her coaching services. A PGA Professional is the best person to teach you how to play golf, regardless of your age or ability.

A professional can teach you the basic fundamentals of the game and the mechanics of the golf swing, as well as other key elements of the sport, such as the rules, etiquette and when and how to start playing competitively.

Golf lessons can be booked at your local golf club or driving range, either with a series of individual lessons or a group lesson for you and your friends. Many professionals offer specialised coaching for youngsters as part of the clubgolf programme and a number of clubs provide beginner sessions or club open days.
