Golf For Beginners – How To Get On A Level Par With Your More Experienced Opponents

January 30th, 2010

Golf for beginners can be a daunting prospect when you are playing against more experienced players, even under the handicap system. There is, however, a way in which to get an edge over your expert rivals, Let’s break down the shots required to complete a typical hole for the amateur golfer, we’ll ignore par 3 holes for this excercise and concentrate on par 4′s and 5′s. In a perfect world you would play these holes thus;

  • Tee shot
  • Long iron (Long iron + mid/short iron for par 5′s)
  • Pitch/chip shot for missed greens
  • Two putts

Two areas in golf, for beginners, where you will be behind your experienced playing partners are the tee shot and the long iron play. It is well recognised among golf instructors that the main element of the game that beginners struggle with is long iron shots. So, now you think I am going to advise you on these shots, no. Where you will get the upper hand is in your short game! Let’s break down the shots again, this time for regulation play, (the shots that a scratch golfer should complete the course in) on a typical par 72.

  • Tee shots = 18
  • Iron shots = 18
  • Putts = 36

You can see, straight away, from this that half of the game is putting!! So, now you think I am going to advise you about putting tips, no. Putting is relatively easy if you are fairly close to the hole. My advice to you is practice, practice, and then practice some more of your pitching and chipping shots. From just off the green, you put the ball 25-30 feet from the hole, you’re gonna make the putt one time in 40 – put the ball 5-6 feet from the hole, you’re gonna do it 7 out of 10 times. Imagine you pull this off 30% in one round, that is 6 shots saved. Golf for beginners is not easy, it’s a huge learning curve, but this may help in a small way, view my pitching and chipping exercises to get your ball closer to the hole for an easy putt.

Enjoy your golf.
