Western Australia is a great place to play golf. Not only are many championship length, but they are fairly inexpensive. There are plenty of courses within 10 miles of the Perth city centre, including Royal Perth and Royal Fremantle, but if you go a bit further north or south, you will find more great courses.

These are both parkland courses, with fairly short but good grass on the fairways, and large trees on each side. The ground around the trees is often scrub or soft sand, which takes some skill to get out of well.

Do you want to hit the ball further? See the ball fly with a nice draw, cutting through the wind, and going past your friends’ tee shots?

If you do – and most of us do – then you need to get rid of that slice and hit the ball with a draw. Don’t  confuse the draw with a hook. When you hook the ball it flies low and curves sharply to the left, and is the opposite to the slice.

Are you wondering whether a golf lesson or two would improve your golf? Maybe you hit the ball off the fairway too often, or you are just inconsistent, getting a par on one hole and a double bogey on the next. These are good reasons for having a golf lesson.

You might even be playing pretty well, able get round in 82-86, but just unable to break through into the 70s. Or you might be a complete beginner. Whatever the state of your game, having golf lessons may have entered your head.
