Key FormulaFormula
Carry ≈ swing speed (mph) × 2.3–2.5 for driver.
Practice StandardStandard
3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.
Start Small
Begin with short irons at the range before pulling the driver.
Rest and Review
Review your grip and posture between range buckets — bad setup repeats in every swing.
Gradual Progression
Master chipping and putting before full swings — short game saves the most strokes.
Safety Notes
- Yell 'Fore!' immediately if your ball heads toward other players.
- Stay alert during thunderstorms — golf courses are exposed to lightning.
