Plus 5 Tips to Get Started with Grant Griffiths Golf

If you’ve ever skipped the company golf outing because you were “just too busy” (read: terrified of topping a tee shot), you’re not alone.

Golf can be intimidating at first. The etiquette, the jargon, the swing… even the wardrobe can feel like a secret society you missed the invite to. But here's the truth: learning to play golf isn't just about the game—it's about opening doors. To business. To confidence. To opportunity.

Why Golf Is the Business World's Secret Weapon

Executives don't just play golf for fresh air. They play because the course is where deals get done, relationships deepen, and leadership shows up in unexpected ways. And yet, according to Catalyst, 46% of women feel excluded from informal networks at work—like golf—and say that exclusion is the biggest impediment to their career advancement.

Now flip the script.

Imagine walking into your next team event with quiet confidence, knowing how to grip the club, make solid contact, and carry yourself with poise on the course. That sends a message: you’re in the game. Literally.

Golf isn't about perfection—it's about participation. And with the right coach, getting started is a lot less intimidating than you think.

5 Beginner Tips to Start Golf with Confidence

Here are five tips to help you get off the sidelines and into the swing of things:

1. Ditch the Perfectionism

You don’t need to stripe it like Tiger to belong on the course. Golf is about progress, not perfection. Beginner lessons focus on building comfort, not creating champions on Day 1.

2. Start with the Right Equipment (and Expectations)

You don’t need a full bag of clubs or the latest gear. At Grant Griffiths Golf, we’ll help you borrow or select beginner-friendly equipment—and walk you through exactly what you do and don't need to begin.

3. Learn On and Off the Course

Our beginner programs are tailored to your comfort zone: whether that’s on the range, in a simulator, or on-course learning. You’ll even get pro tips on etiquette, pace of play, and how to join a group round with confidence.

4. Group or Private? Choose What Works for You

Some people thrive with individual coaching. Others enjoy the energy of learning with friends or coworkers. We offer both—so you can build skills at your pace, in your preferred learning style.

5. Think Long Game (Beyond the Scorecard)

This isn’t just about a better backswing—it’s about being invited to play in the next team outing, entertaining clients, or even leading a corporate scramble. Golf becomes part of your brand—your confidence, your presence, your career growth.
