This is Golf!
What you will learn
Golf seems simple—hit a ball into a hole in as few strokes as possible. But beneath that lies a game of skill, focus, strategy, and self-control. It’s one of the only sports where you call penalties on yourself. Honesty counts as much as ability.
This course breaks down what golf is really about. You’ll learn where it came from, how it’s played, and what it teaches beyond the scorecard. We’ll cover the core areas every golfer builds on: mastering the swing, learning the rules, practicing with purpose, thinking through each shot, and staying calm under pressure. Whether you’re playing for fun or competition, this is where your golf journey begins.
