Getting the Most from Golfing Lessons
It has 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 with a professional, usually called the Club Pro.
We probably think that a Pro would criticize us too harshly, but in fact,they are honest, positive and usually very helpful.
Golf lessons at the local golf course arent as expensive as you probably think and they are worth it too, because your game will get better more quickly thus causing you less aggravation, making playing golf much more fun for you.
It is of utmost importance to be absolutely 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 to the Pro golfer carefully and follow the Pro’s instructions. You may have concerns if the Pro alters your stance, your grip or your swing, but really, the Pro does know best.
Dont hesitate to ask the Pro golfer any questions. Dont worry about whether your question or concern may sound stupid – theyve heard it all before and will not make you feel like an idiot for asking. If you dont understand, tell him/her that you do not get it. You should never walk away from a lesson with unanswered questions.
For example, a strategy might be to concentrate on one thing during a lesson, or on several. You might start with a lesson on driving; get the right grip, the right stance, the right swing, the right follow-through in one lesson, and then practice it for a few weeks until you feel that you’ve got it right. Next time, you might want to work on your short game, or putting.
Youve invested in the golfing equipment and it isn’t cheap, so it doesnt make sense not to learn how to use it to it’s best advantage and improve your abilities, does it?
