Getting the Most from Golfing Lessons

Getting the Most from Golfing Lessons

by Rhys Jones

It is never easy asking for help, but in golf, it is practically a must-do. More's the pity, we often ask our friends and partners, whereas in fact, we should be taking a lesson or two with a professional, usually called the Club Pro.

We may think that a Pro would criticize too harshly, but they are honest, positive and usually very helpful.

Lessons at the local golf course arent as expensive as you might think and they are worth it because your game will improve more rapidly and cause you less frustration, making the game much more enjoyable for you.

It is of utmost importance to be absolutely honest about your game. The Pro will enquire of you what you think you want to learn: driving, chipping, putting or whatever you feel you need assistance with.

Listen to the Pro golfer carefully and follow the Pro's instructions. You may have doubts if the Pro changes 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 understand. You should never walk away from a lesson with unanswered questions.

For example, a course of lessons 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 putting.

Youve invested in your set of golf clubs 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 game, does it?
