For Golf Instruction Calgary Offers Plenty Of Choice

By Peter Drew

Learning to golf involves plenty of concentration. Not only do sportsmen need to know the rules of the game, but also take into account wind, their swing, and types of clubs. Moreover, golf is a game of strictest etiquette. Learn all of these aspects with the golf instruction Calgary clubs provide.

Just remember that Calgary weather changes quickly. This means not all facilities operate twelve months of the year. Unless they have an indoor facility, expect lessons to start in the spring. In the meantime, consider purchasing a DVD or watching some on-line videos supplied by certain Calgary-based academies.

When you do get outside, do not be discouraged if your teacher starts on the driving range. This is at least a start and gets you used to the feel of real grass, the effects of real wind and so on. When you are ready to move on the golfing green awaits.

After a few lessons on the driving range, your teacher may then take you out onto the green. This gives him the chance to teach you more than just the physical aspects of hitting your ball, but also the strategy of the game. Learn to chip a shot in from a short distance, clubs to use and social rules which are crucial to golf and best learned in a game situation.

Choose a facility that suits the would-be golfer in your household. Children are made especially welcome at some facilities. Put them in golf camp or weekly lessons.

Give your child the chance to learn with his friends while taking group lessons. These will likely be the cheapest option. On the other hand, semi-private lessons involving two or three children with an accredited teacher provide a compromise between the efficiency of a small class and your budget. For fastest results stick to one-on-one, if you can afford this luxury.

Adults like to learn golf too and there are similar options open to them. Lessons for grown-ups are provided by clubs and also sports groups aiming to bring the game to everyone, not just the wealthy. On the other hand, an exclusive club usually provides a manicured green and after-game lounge which make golfers feel very special. These may even list corporate golf lessons including employee team building opportunities. Give lessons as a gift to a parent or spouse as a change from the usual tie and socks.
