    Always take all the room you have on a course, watch as you go thru the turn, you can widen your swing if necessary. I teach turn at the shoulder on rights, but everyone has something different.

    I wonder if they don't have videos on YouTube showing right turns. Also if you could find somewhere on a busy street with trucks turning so you could watch how they setup and turn.

    That's nuts, they should at least give you another shot before sending you home, even for there sake they have to pay for the bus ticket. I know some companies don't though c f I did the same thing to my wife.

    Good luck next time man. Like many have said dont give up now your just about to get to the fun part.
