Basics for Junior Golfers

Travis Fulton, a Golf Digest Best Young Teacher, is your coach for our first-ever junior video series. Travis will keep it fun and show you all his favorite tips. You’ll learn everything from how to hit it long off the tee to the secrets for making putts—and best of all, how to get better—fast!

No matter if you’re a beginner or a solid player looking to level up, we all want to crush the driver. Now’s the best time to learn how, because the older you get, the harder it is to swing with more speed. In this video, Travis shows you how to max out your driving distance.

Now that you’ve learned how to drive for distance, you need some accuracy to hit the green. There’s nothing worse than wasting a huge tee shot with a bad approach and having to grind to avoid a high score. In this video, Travis teaches you how to add a little control to your swing.

You’ve bombed your drive and hit a good iron shot onto the green, or maybe just off the green. Now it’s time to chip and putt. The key to good chipping and putting is knowing how hard to hit the ball, which Travis demonstrates in this first short-game video.
