What happens at the very first session?
It is largely a chance to get acquainted. Coaches typically spend time learning about your child's interests and experience, then look at how they hold the club, stand and swing. Safety and etiquette often come up early, such as where to stand while others hit. Parents can ask what the coach noticed and what to practice before the next session.
How do lessons prepare a player for tournaments?
Good preparation goes well beyond the swing. Lessons can cover course management, a steady pre-shot routine and how to recover after a bad hole. Coaches often design practice that adds a little pressure, such as scoring games around the green. Learning the rules and etiquette ahead of time also helps a young player feel calm when it counts.
