The starter motor is on the right as you look into the engine bay, follow the thick wire from the batter + if you are unsure.
What you would do is put the key in the ignition turn it to the second notch so the dash lights come on, then take a good thick wire or jumper cable attach it to the batter + then touch the starter terminal with the other end.
All being well it should start the car. You may need a helper I'm not sure if you have to press the brake or anything to allow a golf auto to start as I've only ever had manuals myself.
If the car starts normally every time you do this then it is not the starter causing the problem, then if I were you I would change the ignition switch as its only £10 ish and not too bad to get out.
