With the golfing calendar thrown into chaos by the coronavirus pandemic, ruling out any competitive action for the foreseeable future, the former Ryder Cup team-mates have instead been offering their expertise with a series of instructional videos.

Both players have previously helped amateur golfers during live masterclasses on Sky Sports Golf, while the latest series tackles a wide range of topics and offers plenty of handy hints for those looking to improve their game during the enforced break.

Using a mixture of Twitter and Instagram to share his wisdom, Harrington kicked off with an extended chipping lesson before switching to the sand and giving a skill school in bunker play.

The Ryder Cup captain produced a number of videos to explain some of the key swing fundamentals for those taking up the game for the first time, with Harrington also sharing some guidance to prevent you from hitting slices and hooks.
