Find an experienced PGA Pro to enjoy your time on the course. PGA-qualified professionals are trained in depth to coach all levels of golfers and have a wealth of experience to share with their students.
* Beginners – take some classes to learn the basic shots and to gain knowledge of the rules/etiquette required to have fun on the course.
* Experienced golfers – if you are having a specific problem with an area of your game, treat going to a PGA Pro like seeing a doctor. A good coach can quickly identify faults and can offer a range of cures to fix your own swing (remember everyone is different).
You will find a multitude of tips on the internet and from unqualified coaches at the range, but beware that these ‘cures’ might not apply to you and more damage than good may be done!

CrediMax has once again come on board as platinum sponsor of the popular Island Classic Charity Golf Tournament.
Its chief executive Yousif Ali Mirza presented a BD10,000 cheque to American Mission Hospital’s chief executive officer/ chief medical officer Dr George Cheriyan at a ceremony in Manama.
The 18th annual three-day fundraising event will be held on His Majesty King Hamad’s private golf course on November 12- 14.
Mr Mirza said: “We are happy and very grateful for AMH’s continuous service and commitment to providing quality, affordable healthcare to the people of Bahrain and for its never failing service to the community through encouraging education and raising health care awareness to all the residents of Bahrain.”
Dr Cheriyan said AMH was ‘very grateful’ to CrediMax for its continued and generous support. “The Island Classic is our main fundraiser of the year enabling us to purchase much-needed equipment for our hospital as well as funding our community outreach programme,” he added.
