A beginner golf lesson plan should focus on foundational elements like grip, stance, and posture, along with basic swing mechanics, putting, and chipping. Lessons should also cover golf equipment, etiquette and rules. A good plan will include warm-up, practice, and application of skills, with a focus on building a solid foundation and developing a consistent swing
