• Strategy of Your Game - This third phase helps you to distinguish a risk from a gamble. You're also taught techniques regarding club selection, placement of the golf ball, pre-shot routine and making your target.
• Practicing on a Professional Level - Phase four teaches your how to get the most out of your practice time. This is the point where you think about how you're going to shoot the ball and practice your swings so that the technique becomes natural for you.
