What you'll learn

Golf Coach

Joe runs the school's beginner programme and has taken several hundred people from never having held a club to playing a full round comfortably. He is unusually good at the part most coaches skip: the etiquette, the kit, and the quiet worry about looking foolish on the first tee.
