Who It's For
Complete beginners
Never picked up a club, or only tried once. No pressure, no assumed knowledge, and no judgement if you've always assumed golf just wasn't for people like you. It was never really about talent. For adults only.
Mike McNally, PGA Professional. Your coach from your first swing.
What You'll Learn
Every part of the game

- Full swing: longer shots that get the ball airborne
By the end of the two hours, you'll have had a go at every part of the game.
This is one-on-one, not a group class: your pace, your questions, the full two hours on you.

No. Everything's provided.
Yes. That's exactly who this is for.
Whenever you're ready, book a Golf Lesson to keep working on something specific, or start a Coaching Plan for ongoing coaching.
Yes, ideally before you build habits you'll later have to undo. A good first lesson isn't about perfect technique. It's about learning a grip, setup and swing that give you a decent chance of hitting the ball, so golf is fun from the start rather than frustrating.
It depends on how often you practise and what you want from the game. The Beginner Introduction to Golf covers putting, chipping, pitching and full swing in two hours, so you leave able to practise on your own. Add the first nine holes and you'll play the par 3 course with me in the same session. After that, some people book a few follow-up lessons and others go and play. There's no set number you have to sign up for.
Learn the basics one-to-one, then get onto a course as early as you can. Most beginners spend months on the range and never take the next step. The course is where golf actually makes sense: you learn which shot to play, not just how to hit it. That's why the introduction has an option to finish with your first holes.
No. Golf is one of the few sports you can start at any age and keep improving at for decades. Adults often learn faster than they expect, because they know why they want to play and they ask good questions. The best time to start was years ago; the second best is now.
