Your first golf lesson is the time to start out with an open mind and give full attention to the lessons you will learn. Bad habits in your swing or stance at an early stage can damage your game down the road. When your instructor models how to stand, where to place your hands and how to do a follow through, try to match his or her movements as close as possible. You also must practice these skills after the lesson to help train your muscles to the proper technique. Also, be open to constructive criticism that your instructor offers. This way you can get the most out of your beginner golf lesson.
