What do amateur golfers do wrong? Depending on the level of amateurism, the answer, according to some of the game’s best teachers, is a lot.
While some may make mistakes in etiquette, others may make swing mistakes. Or maybe they don’t practice enough. Or practice the right way. Or play the course straight away. You get the picture.
Over the past few days, some of golf’s greatest minds gathered at Cabot Citrus Farms in Florida, learning, networking, presenting and shooting content for GOLF Magazine and GOLF.com.
Our Claire Rogers was on site and asked some teachers a question and looked for a quick answer: What should amateur golfers stop doing?

1 thing amateurs should stop doing
“Thinking about your swing on the golf course.” — Maureen Farrell
“Jumping from coach to coach. Find a PGA professional or a good coach in your area who has your best interests at heart and with whom you can collaborate in your own improvement.” — Jason Baile
“Stop moving when other people are playing.” — Cathy Kim
“Watching YouTube videos at 2 in the morning.” — Kiel McDonian
“Playing from tees that don’t suit your playing skills.” — Stef Shaw
“Trying to be perfect.” — Zach Haynes
“I’m trying to do it myself. I know it’s a do-it-yourself society, but honestly, I’m one of the best coaches in the world right now. Find one of them, work closely with them and grow the market over time.” — Jake Toren
