Get Golf Ready is designed to teach everything you'll need to play golf in just a few lessons. PGA and LPGA Professionals will show you that there are lots of ways to play by combining fun, friends and fitness. Each session will focus on the various golf skills you will use while playing. In addition to learning the basics, you will be guided onto the golf course to put your skills into action in a casual, friendly setting.

Let's Get Golf Ready!
Golf Posture Golf Tip of the Day by Erika Larkin
Find a full length mirror and follow these simple steps: 1. Soften your knees slightly. 2. Fold forward from the hips: Keep your spine straight as your torso falls forward and your hips push backwards in one piece (avoid a lower back that is too arched and an upper back that is too rounded). 3. Feel yourself in balance over the laces of your golf shoes with your hands hanging right in front of your toes. 4. Now get swinging!
If you skip a hole or don't play it according to the Rules of Golf (incl. Mulligans) you must post a score of Par plus any handicap strokes you would receive. For example, if your course handicap is 18, you will receive 1 stroke on each hole, so any hole you do not play would be scored as Par + 1. If you play at least 7 holes you can post a 9 hole score using this method to score the un-played holes. If you play at least 13 holes, you can post an 18 hole score using this method.
If you start, but do not complete a hole, or are conceded a stroke you must record the score you most likely would have made had you finished out the hole. Scores in a Competition are generally not Adjusted until posted for handicaps.
