What happens in your first golf lesson

Nervous about starting? Here’s exactly what to expect when you book a first lesson with Nick at Chart Hills.

Your first hour, step by step

1. A chat

Nick asks what you want from golf, any sport you’ve played, and any aches or injuries. No jargon.

2. Grip and setup

How to hold the club and stand to the ball. Small things that make the biggest difference.

3. Your first shots

Short, easy swings first, building up as you get comfortable.

4. TrackMan

See what the ball is doing, so you understand why a shot went where it did.

5. A little short game

Chipping and putting, which is where most of the scoring happens.

6. A simple plan

One or two things to practise, and an honest view of what to do next.

Made for complete beginners

You don’t need a handicap, a membership or any kit. Just turn up ready to have a go.

Questions

What should I wear for my first golf lesson?

Comfortable clothes you can turn in, and flat trainers or golf shoes. A collared top is a safe choice at the club.

Do I need my own clubs?

No. Nick will lend you clubs. Once you know you love it, he can help you choose your own.

I’ve never held a club. Is that OK?

Completely. Many of Nick’s pupils start from zero. The first lesson is about enjoying hitting the ball, not getting everything right.

How early should I arrive?

About 10 minutes early. Park at the clubhouse and head to the range, or call Nick on 07967 762127 if you can’t find him.

What happens after the first lesson?

You’ll leave with a simple practice plan and a suggestion for what to work on next. There’s no pressure to book a package.
