Getting the Most from Golf Lessons

By Rhys Jones

It has never easy asking for help, but in golf, it is practically a necessity. Unfortunately, we often ask our friends and partners, when in reality we should take 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.

Golf lessons at the local golf course arent as expensive as you probably think and they are worth it too, since your game will improve more rapidly and cause you less frustration, making the game much more fun for you.

It is of vital importance to be absolutely honest about your game. The Pro will ask you what you think you need to learn: 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 doubts if the Pro changes your stance, your grip or your swing, but really, 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 silly - theyve heard it all before and will not make you feel like a fool for inquiring. If you dont get it, tell the Pro 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 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? - 24585
