NUMBER ONE. Start off on the green, NOT THE PRACTICE FACILITY. 60 percent of shots from your scorecard are from 100 yards and in. Learn to putt, and to chip. The chip is a miniature version of the full swing. If you can learn to do this properly the swing will naturally fall into place.

Chipping fundamentals.

BLT
B Ball Back

L Weight Left

T Tilt the shaft forward

Lay two clubs down. One at your target, and one parallel left. (it should look like a set of railroad tracks)

You want a narrow stance ( Your feet should be 12 inches apart)

Notice how your hands are ahead of the clubhead, and your right wrist is bent and your left wrist is flat. Maintain thris throught out the swing. Also notice the letter that is formed with your arms and the club a Y an upside down Y to be more specific. Maintain this through out the swing.

DO NOT HIT ONE FULL SWING SHOT. YOU ARE NOT READY

DO NOT BUY ANY BOOKS, DO NOT TAKE ANY ADVICE FROM UNQUALIFIED GOLFERS. Right now you do not know anything about golf. This is good, now you can learn proper technique, without replacing any prior habits. Learn good habits from the start.
