Maximum 14 clubs; beginners need 7–8.

Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Master Fundamentals First

    Grip, posture, and alignment before any swing tip or equipment upgrade.

  • Consistency Over Intensity

    Regular range sessions beat occasional marathon practice before a tournament.

  • Know When to Stop

    Stop play at first thunder or lightning — golf courses are the worst place in a storm.

Safety Notes

  • Yell 'Fore!' immediately if your ball heads toward other players.
  • Stay alert during thunderstorms — golf courses are exposed to lightning.
  • Never swing toward others.
  • Leave course when lightning visible.
