Video Tutorial: The Basics of Golf
Neal Granville presents lesson one on the basics of golf - the best place to start if you're a beginner to the game.
The idea of golf is to get from A to B, starting on the tee. If we can get the ball to go forwards and through the air, we can get to the green and the target much quicker.
Once the ball's come off the tee, it should hopefully be on the fairway, as my ball is here. Now, my job is to get the ball into the air, and try and stop it on the green.
So, we're on the green, and the final part is to get the ball into the hole. The flag can come out because the ball's on the green. We mark the ball and line it up - for more information on rules and etiquette you can keep watching leaderboard tv - and we can see if we can get it in.
On to the next hole!

Neal takes responsibility for the running of the golf course, retail and coaching at Sandford Springs. It is a role that makes everyday a new one and keeps him busy so he has to rely on the people around him.
"My team at Sandford Springs are incredibly important to me. I can trust them to get the job done and I know that our members and guests at Sandford will always receive an experience and service that is second to none," he said.
Neal’s favourite holes at Sandford Springs are 13, 14 and 15 which in his words are ‘Sandford’s own Amen corner’! Neal started off his professional career following a collegiate scholarship in the USA and like most golf pros he had ambitions of being the world number one.
