Golfing Basics
How to Start with Right Grip, Stance, and Posture?
Every great golf swing starts with the fundamentals. With our golf lessons near Hamilton, you’ll first learn how to hold the club correctly, position your hands for control, and find a grip that feels natural yet secure.
Next comes your stance and alignment:
how far apart your feet should be
how to aim at your target
how to distribute your weight for balance.
Proper posture ties it all together. It helps you stay athletic and relaxed throughout the swing. Smashing Golf programs aim to help you mastering these basics early to prevent bad habits and builds a strong foundation for long-term improvement.
Course Basics
What Rules and Etiquette New Players Should Follow
If you’re new to golf, understanding basic rules and proper etiquette will make your experience smoother and more enjoyable. These fundamentals help keep the game fair, safe, and respectful for everyone on the course.
Know the objective: The goal is to get the ball into the hole in as few strokes as possible. Count every stroke, including missed swings.
Tee off properly: Start each hole from the markers. Your ball must be teed up between (not in front of) the markers.
Play the ball as it lies: Don’t move your ball unless a rule allows it (e.g., penalty relief situations).
Keep pace of play: Be ready when it’s your turn, limit practice swings, and keep up with the group ahead.
Respect the order of play: The player farthest from the hole typically hits first, unless playing “ready golf.”
Care for the course: Repair ball marks on greens, replace divots, rake bunkers, and avoid damaging the turf.
Putting green etiquette: Don’t step on another player’s putting line and stand still while others putt.
Be quiet and aware: Stay silent during swings and stand safely out of the way.
Yell “Fore!” if needed: Shout this warning immediately if your ball may hit someone.
Dress and act appropriately: Follow the course dress code and show respect to players and staff.
