As you learn the game of golf, the allure of hitting long drives off the tee may seem irresistible when you first begin. However, seasoned golfers and instructors alike emphasize the significance of prioritizing the short game at any stage of your golfing journey, but especially for beginners. From mastering the art of putting to perfecting your chipping and pitching skills, the short game holds the key to improving your score and your game. Intermediate golfers have likely honed their skills on the fairways and gained experience in various aspects of the game. For any level of golfer, mastery of the short game is the key to taking your game to the next level and realizing your true potential on the course.

Proper golf etiquette ensures that the course remains in great condition for everyone to enjoy.

As a seasoned golf instructor I feel it is my responsiblity to raise golfers awareness to these course maintenance practices.
