A game for the gals

Female golfers have more and more opportunities to play the game at a high level. Though golf is typically the same game for males and females, there are some things that make the female game a bit different. The course is shorter and more emphasis should be put on accuracy. Because the female body is different, it is important to get ladies golf instruction that is gender specific.

Some teaching pros can handle both men and women. Others need to specialize, as they only cater to one or the other. If you are a gal who wants to get better, make sure that you research the prospective pro. A good idea is to visit a female golf clinic to learn specific bits of ladies golf instruction that you can apply later on.

I Finally Paid for Private Golf Lessons

After years of internal struggle and minimal improvement in my game, I finally gave in and paid for private golf lessons. The turning point came when I went golfing with a friend with whom I hadn’t golfed with in years. At the end of the 18 holes he half-jokingly told me that I had the same game as I had the last time we golfed. What’s worse is that I realized he was right.

So, I went to my local golf pro, paid for private golf lessons and quickly found that I had been “practicing” and “improving” a fundamentally wrong golf swing. Through his private golf lessons, I’ve shown more improvement in the last month, than I’ve shown over the last year.
