Beginner Tip of the Month
Build a Good Foundation with Instruction

You are new to the game, or haven't had a chance to play much over the years. If you are like most golfers, you are probably suffering from the effects of using the wrong information. Golf is a sport where many of the concepts golfers use to build their swings are flat out wrong. Mike Weir has a coach he sees on a regular basis to help him refine his golf swing. If you are a golfer who has just started or who isn't playing up to your potential, I urge you to see a CPGA Professional in your area for some lessons. The information they will give you will help you reach your potential a lot faster than on your own or by trying to tape together a series of tips from friends.

Most facilities will offer a wide variety of instructional programs that will appeal to every skill level and budget. At our academy, The GBC Golf Academy at Olympic View, we have lessons that range from $15 dollar clinics all the way up to intensive coaching programs and golf schools. Whichever route you decide to take, instruction will get you on the road to better golf and help you avoid the frustration that most golfers encounter when they try to build a game using concepts that are wrong.
