Techniques

There is something compelling about golf that makes you want to come back for more, whether you're playing well or suffering from a persistent problem. When your game is infuriatingly poor, it's a challenge; when you're scorching the fairways, it's a drug - you want to play on and on. But whatever stage you are at - a relative beginner or a seasoned professional - there is always room for improvement. Not one of the world's finest players would ever claim to having completely mastered this game. Some have come close, but just around the corner there's a double bogey staring them in the face.

This section will help players of all levels to build up a sound knowledge of the golf swing as well as an understanding of the strategies that can make such a startling difference to a score.

Through concisely written instruction, telltale photographs and simple illustrations, golf becomes less of a puzzle. Have you ever wondered how to play a pitch and run, or a high lob over a bunker? Do you ever crave to be able to hit a draw off the tee or consistently hole those awkward six footers? Well, every detail is covered, and with practice and patience, the tips and drills will help you achieve your goals and make you a much more complete golfer.
