Next time you hit the greens, come armed with the Backward Approach, which is really par for the course!       Excerpt After much research I came to the conclusion that the game could be better taught by using a “reverse method” in which putting is taught first, then chipping, then pitching, finally teaching the full swing last. Here is my reasoning. Golf, even during the teaching phase, should be fun, and new students want to see quick results. What is more fun and shows quicker results than being able to putt the ball in the hole during the first lesson? Students learn best when the methods are kept simple. What is simpler than the natural progression from a short easy stroke to a slightly longer stroke to an even longer, more complex stroke to a full swing? Have you ever heard the phrase “you have to crawl before you walk and walk before you run”? I consider putting to be the crawl, chipping and pitching to be the walk, and the full swing to be the run. The majority of new golfers basically just want to hit a big long drive like the pros. Once they have accomplished this, their attention is focused there, and the rest of the game takes a back seat to the drive. When using the reverse method, by the time they get to hit the big long drive they have already learned and practiced the rest of the game. The phrase “Drive for show, putt for dough” has been around for a long time. Why do you think that is? Probably because putting is where the money is. So if that’s true, isn’t that where we should put our emphasis first? But the most important reason to begin with putting is that putting accounts for 45–60% of your total score during a round of golf. It is by far the easiest stroke to teach and learn and yet the hardest to master. Since putting accounts for so much of your game, is so easy to learn, and requires so much practice to master, why would you want to learn this last? It just doesn’t make sense.

I had wanted to take up golf for years and in fact bought some clubs and went to a driving range where I quickly became discouraged and quit. I found this book which I found made perfect sense for me. I enjoy the very basic approach taken explaining everything from the beginning, explaining the strategies and giving practice methods on the green. I have dusted off my clubs and will try again. Some old hands may say this is the wrong way to teach golf however everyone is different and this will work for me. Thanks Jeff...
