Tips for Beginners vs Returning Golfers

Tips for Beginners vs Returning Golfers

Elevate Golf is designed to support Players at every stage, but the needs of beginners and returning golfers can be different. Beginners often look for simple, confidence-building guidance that makes the basics - grip, stance and swing - feel comfortable. A first Tip might focus on one small adjustment that reduces intimidation and increases enjoyment from the start - see Your First Tip and Get a Tip.

Returning Players may understand the fundamentals but want help to refresh skills or unlearn habits picked up over time. Their Tips often centre on regaining rhythm, sharpening consistency, or adjusting technique to match current goals and physicality. Progress is easier when preferences are clear in Creating Your Player Profile, and saved guidance can be revisited later Saving & Replaying Tips.

Both groups benefit from the personal nature of the platform. Coaches shape each Tip to suit a Player’s level and objectives - encouragement for beginners, refinement for returning golfers - so guidance feels relevant, achievable and motivating. For confidence-focused support, see Confidence Without Intimidation.
