Summary: Though Musselburgh, Scotland is home to The Old Links, oldest golf course in the world, golf is rumored to have begun in the Netherlands in 1297. After seven hundred years it still follows the same basic premise: hit a ball into a hole using a stick; the person who gets it in the least number of hits, wins. Today, a golfer may have any number of sticks, called clubs, made up of wood, graphite, or titanium. Each club has a specific use depending on the type, whether it’s the driver for an opening long ball, the wedge for shots out of the sand trap, the putter for the last short shot into the hole, or a variety of irons for anything in between.

In this free video series a professional golfer, Hill Marks, will show you several methods for hitting a golf ball out of various lies. Lies are a constant variable in golf, which can alter a golfer's swing method and approach. You will begin your golf lesson by hitting from the most perfect lie in golf, the flat fairway. Hill will then show you several techniques for hitting different clubs from different locations. You'll learn to hit out of the rough, loose soil, hard pan, side hill lies and even uphill lies. Hill will also show you how to hit from these areas using different clubs in your bag. In the end you'll know more about lies and swing techniques, which will get you out on the golf course and scoring low.
