Golf Instruction

A while back, I was the lucky recipient of a free golf lesson. I was badly in need of help at the time with my short irons and especially my wedges. Somehow, I was sliding under the ball so completely that I was hardly making ball contact. Since I wasn’t trying to hit flop shots, this was very depressing. I had checked all my fundamentals over and over and still the problem persisted. That’s when my friendly neighborhood pro called over to me on the range one day to tell me that I was laying the clubhead off at the top and coming down totally flat. He was right and that was the free golf lesson that saved my game!

Players of all handicaps should always take the opportunity to get a golf course lesson. Different from lessons given at the range or a practice facility, a golf course lesson allows the player to encounter situations they may face in the course of a round. Players cannot always reproduce course conditions with available practice facilities. Golf course lessons can provide, along with the experience of playing under a situation where imaginative play might be necessary, the confidence in hitting every shot a player needs when they are on the course without their coach or teacher. Playing under course conditions with peers or colleagues can be unnerving when a player faces unknown scenarios. A golf course lesson minimizes the likelihood of such an event.
