I have read several thoughts about how a new player should learn the game.
We know everyone likes the big stick and it's awesome to see long towering draws. Also great to see someone who can handle any green with the flatstick.
So the question is this: Should the game be taught from the tee box to the green or green backwards to the tee box?
I like the though of working from the green to the box.
Learn to read greens and putt really well, learn how to hit any shot around the green to save par then work your way back. Hitting approach shots and then tee shots. This way you learn some course management along the way.
Lets hear some thoughts.
