Some beginners think that all they have to do is mimic Singh’s or Tiger’s every move and voila! Instant golf success!

Find a method of playing that produces results for you, and then go with it.

Teaching golf to kids, first of all, FUN is the name of the game. Throw in all the technical jargon at the beginning and you will effectively loose the child’s desire to learn golf.
