Golf Training Thailand Can Help You to Get the Most from Your Game

Whether you are a complete beginner or have quite a bit of experience, junior golfer or pro golfer, there will be a lesson package available whatever stage you are at in your game.

Beginner’s golf lessons are designed to give you the best taste of the sport as possible. The first day’s lesson will be both relaxed and fun and there are full day packages from one to three days available. As well as the full day packages, lessons breaking down the individual elements are also available, for example, bunker and putting lessons and full swing lessons on driving range simulators.

An intermediate course may be suitable for you if you wish to increase the level of your skills. Courses are available for one to three days. The intermediate courses look towards improving your swing, bunker and putting skills as well as knowing how and when to use all the different clubs. The intermediate course will focus on how to improve the players score and in turn reduce the handicap.

Putting, chipping and pitching can be dealt with in short game improvement packages. This level of course focuses on improving the players overall performance and trying to reduce their handicap.

Local performance centers usually have technological equipment such as golf simulators, launch monitors, digital videos and body motion analysis. This equipment can be used to improve both short and long games. The data that these machines collect about you and your swing can be analysis by the instructor and used by them to try and give you help and advice on how to best improve your swing. They can then tailor your lessons around this and help to improve your overall game; this should then give you a better score and lower your handicap. 

As an alternative to using a green where the grass can be affected by natural causes, such as heavy rainfall or uneven ground, the performance centers usually have synthetic putting greens, these represent perfect conditions and as such allow the instructor to check out the strengths and weaknesses in your swing and to suggest what can be done to overcome the weaknesses.

Thailand’s indoor golf performance centers are also a great venue for a corporate get together, business meeting or team building weekends as many of the indoor performance centers in Thailand have corporate suites fitted out with indoor golf course simulators

 

Who to Get Golf Lessons From

Golf is a sport. It’s also a hobby, a form of exercise and for some it’s a way of life. Some people start playing when they’re young; often taught by their father or another relative. Other budding golfers start later in life and teach themselves (with tips from the internet), are taught by a friend or colleague, or pay for professional instruction. It is not a cheap activity; equipment, clothing, course fees and logistics all involve considerable investment. Therefore, it makes sense to invest proportionally in golf lessons. It isn’t necessary to have your instructor hold your hand for every shot, every time you play, but a good guiding hand from the start will set you on the right path.

Many are taught by a relative, often one’s father, but unless that father is an experienced instructor and faultless professional, mistakes will be missed and bad habits will be taught. To start on the right foot and get the best possible instruction golf lessons with a pro are essential. They are often less expensive than expected, but offer all kinds of benefits. An eye for mistakes and experienced and practiced teaching methods are most important. In addition, technology has evolved and now allows them to use high-shutter-speed video images to analyze swing movement. Better golf is only achieved by better instruction. Imagine a good golfer, but a bad teacher. He or she will be able to perform the activity themselves but probably not proficient in noticing a student’s mistakes and teaching them calmly and effectively. In fact, it would probably be more desirable to learn from a very good golfer who is an excellent teacher than an excellent golfer who is an average teacher. Compare it to language. A linguistic expert who cannot easily and effectively communicate with his or her students will achieve very little. However, a teacher whose own language skills are good, but not the best, but has excellent methods and communication skills will be far more successful.

In addition, a little preparation is always a good thing. Last minute golf lessons can sometimes be effective, but for the sake of the teacher, and his or her ability to be prepared for the lesson, some advance planning is necessary. If he or she is hungry, tired or pre-occupied, your lesson may not be as beneficial.

It is unfair to say that learning golf from a relative, friend or colleague is unacceptable. However, their own ability and teaching skills will be immediately evident in the student’s swing and posture. The best results come from the best instruction and the best instruction comes from the best instructors.
