  This second edition provides more than 80 drills and practice techniques that should help golfers of all abilities improve their game. By following the book's sequential programme of lessons and drills and by studying the 180 illustrations that show proper form, golfers should learn to make great shots no matter which club they are using. The drills in the book provide instructions for increasing or decreasing the difficulty depending on ability level, and the accompanying list of success checks provide golfers with key points to remember when performing each drill. With this book, golfers will learn how to develop a consistently good swing motion; control the flight pattern of the ball by hitting the ball with the proper club angle; properly execute a pitch shot, chip shot and two different types of sand shots; develop a good putting stroke; and accurately read the contour of greens.

  Golf: Steps to Success serves as a primary resource for golfers starting lessons or as a self-instruction guide. Either way, this progression of skills will help readers get started quickly, make steady progress, practise in performance contexts, and correct problems as they develop. In this book, 16 steps (chapters) explain why the concept or skill is important, identify the keys to correct technique, help golfers correct common errors, explain how to practise each skill in realistic ways, list specific performance goals for each drill, and provide checklists for evaluating proper technique. Teachers need both the participant's guide and the companion teacher's guide to teach effectively. Teaching Golf : Steps to Success follows the same skill progression as the participant's book and features management and safety guidelines, rating charts for identifying players' initial skill levels, drill modifications to fit various skill levels, teaching cues to maximize learning, suggestions for identifying and correcting common errors, and a complete test bank of written questions.
