Getting the Most from Golf Lessons

It’s never easy asking for help, but in golf, it is

almost a necessity. Unfortunately, we often ask our

buddies and partners, when in reality we should take a

lesson or two.

We think that a Pro would critique harshly, but they

are honest, positive and very helpful.

Lessons at the local course aren’t as expensive as you

might think and they are worth it because your game

will improve rapidly and cause you less frustration,

making the game much more enjoyable for you.

Of utmost importance, is being honest about your game.

The Pro will ask you what you want to start with;

driving, chipping, putting or whatever you feel you

need help with.

Listen carefully and follow the instructions. You may

have doubts if the Pro changes your stance, your grip

or your swing; the Pro knows best.

Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Don’t worry about if

the question or concern in stupid-they’ve heard it all

before and will not make you feel like an idiot for

asking. If you don’t "get it", tell him/her that

you’re not getting it. You should never walk away from

a lesson with unanswered questions.

You can concentrate on one thing during a lesson, or

several. You might start with a lesson in driving; get

the right grip, the right stance, the right swing, the

right follow-through in one lesson, and then practice

it. Next time, you might work on your short game, or

putting.

You’ve invested in the equipment, doesn’t it make

sense to learn how to use them to their advantage and

improve your abilities?
