Getting the Most from Golfing Lessons
It is never easy asking for help, but in golf, it is almost a must-do. Unfortunately, we often ask our buddies and partners, when, in reality we should take a few lessons 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 improve 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 very carefully and follow the Pro’s instructions. You may have concerns if the Pro alters your stance, your grip or your swing, but honestly, the Pro does know best.
Oh and dont hesitate to ask the Pro golfer any questions you may have and 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 get it, tell the Pro that you do not get it. You should never leave a lesson with unanswered questions.
For instance, a strategy might be to start with one thing during a lesson, or on several things. You might begin with a lesson on driving; get the grip, the stance, the swing and the follow-through right in one lesson and then practice it ‘for real’ for a few weeks until you feel that you’ve got it more or less right. Next time, you might decide to work on your short game, or the putting.
Youve invested in your golfing equipment and it isn’t cheap, is it? So, it doesnt make sense not to learn how to use it to it’s best advantage and improve your abilities, does it?
