Goals and Rationale

Golf 10 is the first part of the Learn, Practice and Play series of golf instruction that the South Okanagan Golf Academy offers. This course will lead students through a natural progression of instruction, which will sequence the parts of the golf swing. The swing will be broken down into segments, which will take into account swing mechanics as well as the physiological differences for different body types. After the swing has been instructed various shots will be taught. Students who take this course are expected to know the golf swing and its mechanics affecting the different type of shots, which are an extension of the basic golf swing.
